Socio-occupational integration
Immigrants face major challenges in their socio-occupational integration in Québec.
On their path, they encounter many organizations that are called on to support them at one or more steps of their integration process.
IRIPI intervenes with these organizations to assist them in developing innovative support practices, which ultimately seek to facilitate the socio-occupational integration of immigrants.

Toward innovative immigration regionalization practices
Developing innovative immigration regionalization practices is an applied research project. The concentration of immigration in urban areas is a global phenomenon. In Canada, the majority of the immigrant population is concentrated in three major urban centers: Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. In Quebec, more than 85% of the immigrant population lives in a Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) of Montreal. This is still the case, despite the establishment of a Quebec immigration regionalization policy in 1992.

The ultimate goal is simplify the assessment of immigrant candidates by Quebec employers during the recruitment process.

They are also called Internationally Educated Professionals (IEPs).
