Opinion Leader Interviews: Views on Cultural Diversity and Immigration Project funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (Ontario)

Our Objectives To assess the “warmth of the welcome” for immigrants and visible minorities in 15 Census Metropolitan Areas outside Toronto To identify targets and strategies for change To assess policy directions and help shape anti- racism and welcoming community program interventions

Assessing the warmth of welcome Environics Research Group is conducting confidential telephone interviews with 5 opinion leaders from the governmental sector and 5 from the non-governmental sector in each municipality. Interviewees in each municipality are randomly selected from lists of opinion leaders. Opinion leaders are knowledgeable about local attitudes and organizational capacity, and play a key role in shaping the “climate” of the community and in setting the social and economic context for newcomers.

Interview Agenda Themes Probes perceptions of: local and regional government interest in immigration community leader attitudes about the contribution of immigration to the community’s economic, social/cultural, political/civic life, and identity community member interest in immigration the advantages and disadvantages of immigration, and whether the community welcomes newcomers and visible minorities community capacity to serve newcomers, refugees

Relevance for communities and policymakers Candid interview evidence will help policymakers identify targets and strategies for program interventions to improve the warmth of welcome and help immigrants find meaningful work. Provides information on the demographic composition of opinion leaders in second and third-tier municipalities: Immigrant status, ethno-racial background, gender, age, length of residency Accounts for city variations in the warmth of welcome

Project Update as of October 28, 2010 Fieldwork completed in St. Catharines-Niagara, London, Greater Sudbury, Ottawa and Windsor. Interview process concluding in Durham Region and Hamilton Next communities: Barrie, Brantford, Guelph, Kingston, Kitchener-Waterloo, North Bay, Peterborough, Thunder Bay
