Research summary


Planetary migration is a topical issue with far-reaching consequences for societies. As Canada Research Chair in Migration Dynamics, Dr. Danièle Bélanger is analyzing how new ways to approaches to governing mobility and migration are affecting migrants and various non-state actors in Canada and elsewhere.

Bélanger and her team are carrying out innovative research on some of the issues raised by these modes of governance and on the initiatives undertaken by communities to deal with these issues. Their work focuses on managing immigration through technology as well as regulating the labour market and territory through immigration. They aim to produce valuable knowledge and insights to help policy-makers maximize the positive effects of migration.
