Focused on Ontario and Quebec, chapters pinpoint factors that affect the settlement and integration of immigrants, as well as growing numbers of international students, foreign workers, and refugee claimants. Contributors illustrate how federal, provincial, and municipal policies and diverse institutions - from grassroots churches to settlement agencies - can influence migrants' capacity to navigate and leverage the resources required to overcome integration challenges. The book's social resilience framework attends to the social supports that empower migrants to take collective action for their own futures. As migrants interact with a broad range of institutions, those institutions are transformed and become more resilient themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDirected at a wide audience of community and government practitioners, migration policy experts, scholars, and civil society activists, \u003ci\u003eSocial Resilience and International Migration in the Canadian City\u003c\/i\u003e provides crucial insight about the policies necessary for helping both migrants and cities thrive, offering ideas for effective implementation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValerie Preston is professor emerita in the Department of Geography and senior scholar in the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change at York University.\u003cbr\u003eJohn Shields is professor emeritus in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University.\u003cbr\u003eTara Bedard is executive director at the Waterloo Region Immigration Partnership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47899803517149,"sku":"9780228024682","price":73.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/uSnyee15J9780228024682.webp?v=1778277381","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/social-resilience-and-international-migration-in-the-canadian-city-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
