ACCC RESEARCH INITIATIVE
CANADIAN COLLEGES AND INSTITUTES –
RESPONDING TO THE NEEDS OF IMMIGRANTS

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS TO COLLEGES\INSTITUTES

Purpose of the Interview:

To assist ACCC in capturing the extent to which colleges/institutes currently respond to the needs of immigrants within their communities, as well as identify approaches for expanding and strengthening the types of programs and services that colleges/institutes are delivering to this client group. In particular we are focussing on the following objectives:

  1. to determine the capacity of colleges and institutes in delivering programs and services that benefit immigrants;
  2. to identify specific programs and services offered to immigrants by colleges and institutes to be profiled on the ACCC website and eventually linked to the Immigration Internet Portal that the Government of Canada is developing;
  3. to identify the main types of support colleges and institutes can offer to immigrants with a view to defining how colleges and institutes can further contribute to relevant Government of Canada’s programs and services benefiting immigrants

  2. Can you estimate approximately how many immigrants are enrolled in programs or making use of the services that your institution provides specifically for immigrants?
  3. Where are these programs and services delivered?
