2016 Cities of Migration Conference
Toronto, Canada, March 2, 2016
The Westin Harbour Castle
Mobility, movement, migration—the great flow of people and ideas to cities around the world—is unstoppable. Today’s super-diversity follows the great urbanization of the world. New cities of migration are in the global north and in the global south, and span every continent. As IOM’s William Lacy Swing says: “Cities rarely shrink to greatness. They get better by growing and to grow they must welcome migrants.”
If diversity is the new norm, does diversity drive prosperity? Can diversity bring more trade, more talent, more social innovation? We think so. The evidence linking diversity and prosperity is strong and growing, bolstered by new voices, new research strategies, and new forms of collaboration.

The Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) is a fully interactive tool and reference guide to assess, compare, and improve integration policy in various countries, including Canada. The launch of the new MIPEX scores for Canada will provide important information on the impact of important policy changes in Canada’s immigration and settlement policies in recent years. How does Canada compare to other countries in terms of granting immigrants access to citizenship, health care, and the labour market? Is Canada still an international leader when it comes to integration?
