My research in population economics focuses on economic issues related to immigration, particularly in the Canadian context. As a major immigrant receiving nation, Canada has a highly structured immigration system that seeks to select and settle new Canadians successfully. This is a policy area that has been very receptive to economic research as one input into the policymaking process.
