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:
- to determine the capacity of colleges and institutes in delivering programs and services that benefit
immigrants;
- 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;
- 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.
- 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.
- special advice to pre-arrived immigrants on your web site

- service to pre-arrived immigrants at an overseas location of your college/institute

- English or French language instruction for immigrants

- programs for immigrant families
