Cities of Migration

Cities of Migration Join the Learning Exchange! Cities of Migration is a project of the Global Diversity Exchange (GDX) at the Ted Rogers School of Management, Ryerson University.

Cities of Migration aims to improve the integration of urban migrants through information sharing and learning exchange internationally and to become a catalyst for city leadership on migration issues. The Cities of Migration website is anchored by a collection of “Good Ideas in Integration.” These profiles showcase good city-level integration practices that provide innovative and practical soluti

ons to common problems and challenges. Under the themes of Work, Live, Learn, Connect and Plan, users will discover Good Ideas in the integration of urban migrants that can be adapted locally or inspire new thinking in this important dimension of city prosperity and growth. Our monthly webinar series brings international practitioners, experts and local leaders together for peer-to-peer learning and information exchange – with no carbon footprint. Our interactive webinars, events and tools are designed to connect city-level practitioners to promising practices for knowledge sharing, new opportunities for collaboration and to help urban networks develop stronger ties. Stay in touch with our newsletter, Conversations in Integration, a monthly round-up of good practice, opinion, interviews, learning events and updates. To help integration practitioners investigate good integration practices , we have also provided a library of e-resources on related research, practice and policy. By increasing the effectiveness of local integration practices and the policy frameworks that support them, we hope to advance the place of cities in migration policy internationally.

Why do migrants stay in small and mid-sized Canadian Cities?

Many small and mid-sized cities in Canada view international migration as a way to address labour shortages and to counter the effects of population decline. Smaller urban centres often face significant challenges to attracting and retaining migrants, as migrants often prefer to live in larger cities.

CERC Migration wants to turn the usual policy and research question (why do people leave?) on its head and ask those who stay:
Why do they choose to live in small or mid-sized cities?
What is attractive or important for them?
How do their motivations evolve in the different life stages of a family/household? and,
What then is the role of community organizations and cultural associations in building connections and creating a welcoming environment in small and mid-sized cities?

CERC Migration is seeking community or cultural organizations of any type, in Ontario or B.C., to partner in research exploring what contributes to migrant retention in their community.
