This review was drafted by the OECD’s International Migration Division. Chapters 1-3 were prepared by Elisabeth Kamm with contributions from Sankar Ramasamy, Erik Krassoi Peach and Martina Belmonte. Chapter 4 was prepared by Ana Damas de Matos. Thomas Liebig co-ordinated the report. It benefitted from valuable comments by Jonathan Chaloff, Jean-Christophe Dumont, Veronique Gindrey, Philippe Herve and Mark Pearson. Joanne Dundon, Liv Gudmundson, Anna Tarutina and Lauren Thwaites provided publication support.
This review would not have been possible without the support of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and the Canadian Delegate to the OECD Working Party on Migration, Mr. Matt de Vlieger. The Secretariat would like to thank Employment and Social Development Canada as well as Statistics Canada for data provided and valuable comments. Special thanks go to Yehuala Dagnachew, Colleen Dempsey, Ying Gai, Martha Justus, Ümit Kiziltan, Stanley Kustec, Stephanie Leung, Scott McLeish, Corinne Prince, Zhining Qi, Danijela Stojanovic, Arthur Sweetman, Fraser Valentine and Xiaoyi Yan for their support and advice throughout the project. The OECD Secretariat would like to thank the Canadian authorities involved in this project and, indeed, all of their contacts in Canada who provided timely information and responded to the numerous questions raised.
