Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) are pleased to launch  a call for proposals to support peer-reviewed research on Syrian refugee resettlement in Canada.  The key objective of this joint initiative and call is to award supplementary support to active SSHRC funded researchers working in areas related to immigration and refugee resettlement.  The call seeks to support research addressing pressing short-term issues related to the current refugee resettlement effort, in order to inform and support the efforts of policymakers, service organisation and other stakeholders.

Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada (IRCC) et le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada (CRSH) ont le plaisir  de lancer un appel à propositions   pour supporter  la recherche   sur l’arrivée et  la réinstallation de refugies syriens au Canada. L'objectif principal de cette initiative conjointe et appel est d’offrir un soutien supplémentaire aux chercheurs actifs financés par le CRSH travaillant dans des domaines liés à l'immigration et à la relocalisation des réfugiés. L'appel vise à soutenir la recherche portant sur des questions urgentes à court terme liés à l'effort de réinstallation des réfugiés en cours, dans le but d'informer et de soutenir les efforts des décideurs politiques, l'organisation des services et d'autres intervenants.
