New Book: Allow In More Immigrant Engineers To Take On China

Jacopo Dettoni and Danielle Myles, thanks for sharing this work. German American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. is an invaluable resource, no? I am presuming the 27% in the Carolinas is percent of capital investment. I wonder how the percentages break out by discrete project tallies per state. We continue to track these sorts of things at Site Selection Magazine too, where our coverage includes countries' domestic company investment projects as well as FDI. Just like the corporates, consultancies and communities we cover, this is how quasi-competitors learn from one another and drive one another to always-improving data analysis.

After 10 months of policy changes from the IRCC, CBIE's 53rd annual conference in Ottawa provided a crucial opportunity for Canadian stakeholders to come together for what many see as a “recalibration” of the sector. https://hubs.li/Q02Y2kQ10

Today, we announced legislation that would extend Canadian citizenship by descent past the first generation. This would: ·      Provide citizenship to people born abroad to a Canadian parent who was also born abroad with a substantial connection to Canada after the legislation comes into force. ·      Allow access to a direct grant of citizenship to children born abroad and adopted by a Canadian parent who was also born abroad. ·      Give citizenship back to “Lost Canadians,” their descendants and anyone born abroad to a Canadian parent in the second or later generations before this legislation comes into effect.

Excited to share the publication of our Working Paper📚 "Between Privilege and Precarity: The Migration Journeys of Former International Students in Canada" released by Toronto Metropolitan Centre for Immigration and Settlement (TMCIS) and CERC in Migration & Integration. I’ve had the privilege working alongside my wonderful co-authors Dominik Formanowicz, Tingting Zhang, Dr. Isaac Garcia-Sitton, & Rupa Banerjee where we examine the labour market and immigration trajectories, along with the lived experiences of former international students in Canada. I am so grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this research and I hope that it contributes to a valuable conversation that shifts away from current harmful discourses surrounding newcomers and instead allows for us to find better solutions to support integral members of our communities. 📥 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/e3XW5fsk #research #internationalstudents #immigration #canada #immigrationpolicy

High-skilled Immigration, Job Growth and Innovation Did you know that when high-skilled people immigrate into the U.S., it sours new job growth AND spurs innovation? Read this great article by Wharton management professor Britta Glennon. How High-skilled Immigration Creates Jobs and Drives Innovation - Knowledge at Wharton (upenn.edu). She provides a strong argument that “high-skilled immigration should be seen in a much more positive light.” Let us keep our doors and minds open to immigration, and bring the best to grow our economy.

As a follow up to my academic work since 1992, I will be publishing two books from some of my academic research work on the history of international migration policies and the formation of nation states. The two books will provide an analytical examination of the politicalization of immigration policies and the migrant experiences, in order to document the financial, social and economic contributions of international migration and migrants to the building of western global cities such as Sydney, Toronto, London and San Francisco USA.

Proposed Reforms to Australia’s Migration Points Test: What You Need to Know Australia is set to revamp its migration points test, aiming to better align with the nation’s long-term prosperity. The proposed changes are designed to: - Focus on characteristics associated with migrants successfully finding skilled work. - Provide greater certainty for migrants about their prospects for permanent residence, avoiding 'permanent temporariness’. - Target the skills that Australia needs now and in the future. - Recognise that younger migrants will contribute to Australian workplaces for more years. - Acknowledge the potential contributions of partners in the migration process. These reforms will redefine the Skilled Independent visa program to focus on long-term prosperity, while the Employer Nominated program will address immediate skills needs. A new talent and innovation program will target candidates with exceptional characteristics1. The Department is requesting feedback by 5pm AEST on 24 May 2024.
