Immigration and the Vitality of Canada's Official Language Communities : Policy, Demography and Identity
Abstract
This study proposes a series of recommendations which address three key areas: Policies and Principles; Recruitment and Promotion; and Settlement and Integration. Among the most important are the following: An inttegratted approach must be enunciated by the federal government and objectives, regulations and policies with respect to demographic renewal of official language communities put in place and acted upon, in close collaboration with the affected communities. A strategy with regard to Francophone recruiittmentt should be developed; benchmarks should be established to increase Francophone immigration to minority language communities and reviewed annually to ensure progress in this area. In order for minority official language communities to play their role in encouraging immigrants to come to their areas, wellcoming them and helping them inttegratte into Canadian societty, they must be supported by the federal government at all levels of the process, from planning to settlement and integration activities.
