The Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) is a fully interactive tool and reference guide to assess, compare, and improve integration policy in various countries, including Canada. The launch of the new MIPEX scores for Canada will provide important information on the impact of important policy changes in Canada’s immigration and settlement policies in recent years. How does Canada compare to other countries in terms of granting immigrants access to citizenship, health care, and the labour market? Is Canada still an international leader when it comes to integration?
