On March 20, the Nova Scotia Office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA-NS) will release Expanding the Vision: Why Nova Scotia Should Look Beyond Econocentric Immigration Policy. This report demonstrates the short-comings of a narrow, instrumental, short-term approach to immigration that seeks only to maximize economic returns and lays out the elements of an alternative approach.

Author, Alexandra Dobrowolsky, Saint Mary’s University Professor and CCPA-NS Research Associate, will present the report’s key findings and recommendations. Nabiha Atallah,Manager, Communications & Outreach, Immigrant Settlement & Integration Services, will respond to the report findings and recommendations. Co-author, Howard Ramos, Dalhousie University Associate Professor and CCPA-NS Research Associate, will field questions on the report’s key findings and recommendations.
