“This report presents the findings of the evaluation of Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) Immigration to Official Language Minority Communities Initiative (hereafter the OLMC Initiative).

In terms of the integration of OLMIs and the welcome-ability of OLMCs, we recommend: a) understanding the abilities of OLMCs to welcome and integrate immigrants; b) examining the levels and processes of immigrant integration; and c) exploring the relations among community characteristics, integration, and immigrant contributions. [...] Instead, in following the methodological steps further described below, the charting accomplished during a scoping review identifies the nature and extent of the research evidence, characterizes the quantity and quality of the literature, and produces a narrative account of existing literature. [...] Thus, in the presentation of the themes we focus on the research findings, and we include comments on the methodology only in case of a need to clarify or to put the findings in context. [...] In a report by the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages and Office of the French Language Services Commissioner of Ontario (OCOL & OFLSC, 2014), it is emphasized that the lack of clear definitions impacts service provision as the size of populations cannot be accurately assessed. [...] Bisson and Brennan (2013, p. 15) also suggest that the growing importance of the Canadian Experience Class and particularly its role in facilitating the transition of international students to permanent residents "opens the door for post- secondary institutions to play a role as engines of French-speaking immigration." Overall, their position is that the recent changes to the immigration system in.

It is imperative that we train leaders who are able to intervene efficiently with service users and to support a better organization of the workplace. It is especially important to look at the many issues related to postsecondary training and human resources, such as recruiting and keeping these leading professionals. Accessibility and Active Offer thus combines theory and empirical data to help future professionals understand the workplace issues of accessibility and active offer of minority-language services. This English-language adaptation of Accessibilité et offre active features an additional chapter by Richard Bourhis on issues specific to Anglophone communities in Québec. This multidisciplinary collective work is the first to unite researchers in health, social work, sociology, political science, public administration, law and education, in order to gain more thorough knowledge of linguistic issues in health and social services, as well as of active offer of French-language services.
