Declining birth rates and a rapidly aging population are contributing to increasing shortages in Canada’s workforce. Analysts predict that, by 2020, one million Canadian jobs could go unfilled. As a result, immigration is being seen, increasingly, as necessary for economic growth and well-being. According to Statistics Canada, immigration accounted for two-thirds of Canada’s total population growth from 2001 to 2006. We are involved in undertaking evaluations of a wide variety of immigration-related programs including:

• A major evaluation of the Federal Skilled Worker Program across Canada for the Government of Canada
• A major evaluation of the Immigrant Settlement and Adaptation Program (ISAP), Host Program, and the Welcoming Communities Initiative (WCI), across Canada for the Government of Canada
• A process and summative evaluation of the British Columbia Settlement Workers in Schools Initiative (BCSWIS) on behalf of the BC Ministry of Attorney General.
• Evaluation of the BC Foreign Credential Recognition Program on behalf of the BC Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development.
• Outcome Evaluation of the British Columbia Settlement and Adaptation Program (BCSAP) on behalf of the BC Ministry of Attorney General
