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

SURVEY OF COLLEGES AND INSTITUTES

The purpose of this survey is to assist ACCC in capturing the extent to which colleges and institutes currently respond to the needs of immigrants within their communities. The specific objectives of this research initiative are as follows:

  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 programs and services benefiting immigrants.

Please complete and return the survey by November 28, 2003 to the attention of Anna Toneguzzo, Senior Research Officer, Member Services and Public Policy at the following email: atoneguzzo@accc.ca If you have any questions or require clarification, please contact Ms. Toneguzzo at : 613-746-2222, ext. 3103.

  1. The following is a list of possible relationships between colleges/institutes and immigrants. Please identify those that apply to your institution. For each relationship identified we also ask that you name the specific programs and/or services your college/institute offers.
