SECOND ANNUAL METROPOLIS NATIONAL RESEARCH COMPETITION

June 10, 2008

The Metropolis Project is pleased to announce its second annual national research competition. This year, the research question is: How has large-scale immigration transformed Canada's society and economy? Previous work undertaken within the Metropolis Project has largely focused on the immigration experience, well-being, and outcomes for newcomers, but less attention has been devoted to the way immigration has been influencing, benefiting, and challenging Canadian society, the economy, and native-born Canadians. An appropriate evaluation of the costs and benefits of an immigration policy requires accounting for all citizens affected by migration, including non-migrants.

The maximum value of this research grant is $125,000 for 12 to 18 months. Researchers affiliated with Canadian postsecondary educational institutions are invited to submit a proposal by September 30, 2008.
