Promising Integration Practices in Francophone Official Language Minority Communities
The project focuses on reception and integration strategies associated with Francophone Official Language Minority Communities (OLMCs) in three practice areas: newcomer integration into the workforce, integration into Francophone institutions, and settlement service provision in French. The goal was to first identify and then analyze promising practices to determine whether and how they might be transferred. At a practical level, the study sought to answer: (i) Whether innovative practices could be readily identified in relation to important policy themes: (ii) Whether practices could easily be adapted to varying geographic and demographic conditions; and (iii) Whether practices were dependent on unique institutional arrangements and partnerships that would be difficult to recreate.
