Plenary: The Ever-Changing Terrain of Attitudes toward Immigrants and Refugees

Attitudes toward immigrants and refugees in Canada are thought to be relatively favourable, particularly in an international comparative context, yet they demonstrate some variation over time, with dips and rises. And not all immigrant groups in Canada are viewed in an equally favourable light. What are the factors that are influencing Canadians’ attitudes, and what roles do national, regional, and local policies play? Do Canadians have different views of different classes of immigrants, specifically economic immigrants versus refugees? Are Canadians susceptible to populist, anti-immigrant sentiment? And what role do the media play? Speakers in this plenary will attempt to address these and other questions surrounding the ever-shifting terrain of attitudes toward immigrants and refugees in Canada.
