Canadiens à l’étranger
Le programme Canadiens à l'étranger était un projet de recherche conjoint qui analysait les causes d'expatriation des citoyens canadiens et les conséquences de leur vie à l'étranger. À partir des résultats de ce programme, la Fondation Asie Pacifique a lancé le Dialogue sur le capital humain sino-canadien pour former, avec trois groupes de réflexion basés en Chine, un partenariat de recherche sur les flux de capital humain entre le Canada et la Chine.

Depuis plus de trente ans, le débat public sur l’émigration du Canada s’articule autour de préoccupations associées à l’exode de compétences et aux inconvénients que comporte la présence de ressortissants canadiens dans d’autres parties du...

This study looks at the extent to which Canadians living abroad participate in Canada in a variety...

This paper explores Canada’s substantial policy gap between the treatment of Canadians at home and citizens abroad. Based on survey data, the paper also finds out that the Canadian overseas community feels strongly as “Canadian” and want to be connected to Canada. In...

The conference looked at some statistical data on Canadians living abroad and heard descriptions of several centres of overseas Canadian concentration. It was observed that the size of the overseas Canadian population varies considerably from country to country, and the lack of a standardized approach to tracking the whereabouts of the population beyond voluntary registration makes it very...

Canada has experienced a unique problem as a subset of its immigrants, approximately 10%, leave after ascension to citizenship. In this paper I argue that both the degree of immigrant naturalization and subsequent emigration from Canada is conditioned by economic opportunities and Canadian citizenship policies. A triangular model of movement comprising the concept of an entrepôt destination...

Proportionately, Canada’s diaspora is larger than the overseas communities of some well-known diaspora countries such as the United States, Australia, China and India. This paper identifies some of the Canadian rules and regulations that treat Canadians abroad as “foreigners with Canadian...
