Urban Renewal: How Simple Acts and Third Spaces can Reconnect Our Communities

Hi everyone! It's been a while, but I'm back with a new post to launch the Urban Renewal series. As we navigate this post-pandemic world, I've been pondering the idea of connection, particularly in our urban spaces. For the first installment of the series, I had the pleasure of chatting with fellow Vancouverite, Peg Fong, a journalist, author, and educator who launched a podcast and book during the pandemic titled, Alone Together, to explore the topic of loneliness in cities.

In our conversation, Peg shared her insights on how we can rebuild a sense of community.

The Simple Act of Walking

During the pandemic when we were mostly confined to our homes, the ability to stroll through the neighborhood and see other people was often our main source of face-to-face interaction.

"I live in Yaletown, a very walkable area of Vancouver, which was something I took for granted," Peg shared. “But during the pandemic it became so important to have these public spaces where we could walk and see other people around, even if we couldn't be together.”

Public spaces like parks and sidewalks became lifelines for connecting with others, reminding us that we weren't truly alone. However when the pandemic was over, many continued to stay home, preferring teleworking and shopping online to being out and about in their communities.

“I grew up in the Prairies and we always had community areas where people gathered, like after church or on the weekends, whether it was a local community center or hockey rink. I think we've lost some of that.”

With more people working from home and having food and goods delivered, we don’t have spontaneous interactions typically experienced when going to the office or the store. To make up for those lost connections, walking and spending time in public spaces becomes even more important to building community.

Activating Public Spaces

It’s not just about having more public spaces – it's about activating them. Imagine a public square with giant chess boards, live music, or pop-up markets. These kinds of events draw people in and create opportunities for spontaneous connection that might not happen otherwise.

You can build a great public space, but if there is no programming, people won’t come. North Vancouver’s Shipyards is a world-class example of how to design and activate a public space - with a massive waterpark (which transforms into a skating rink in the winter), a gorgeous view of the waterfront, shielded from the sun or rain by a vaulted ceiling; surrounded by Adirondak chairs; giant toys and games; an ice cream shop; restaurants; breweries; a stage playing live music; regularly programmed events including movies, night markets, and yoga classes; art galleries; a public market; hotels; shops; public transit; and a seawall - all within 100 metres.

In comparison, when I visited Vancouver’s central public space - Robson Square - during the pandemic, there was nothing going on except one tent trying to illegally sell marijuana baked goods. You can guess where most people would rather spend their time.

Third Spaces: More Than Just Coffee Shops

While discussing the benefits of walking and enjoying public spaces, Peg and I got on the topic of "third spaces." These are places that aren't homes or workplaces, but rather community hubs where we can gather, relax, and connect with others. Think of your local coffee shop, library, or even a dog park. These spaces are essential for fostering those spontaneous interactions with our neighbours that we may have lost during the pandemic.

Urban planning best practices suggest that every home should be within a 5-10 minute walk to a park, but we don’t talk about the importance of being able to easily walk to a coffee shop or corner store.

“I grew up in an apartment above a grocery store in Calgary. We had people buying groceries there, but also people sitting on the deck or stairs eating popsicles and enjoying drinks. It became a gathering spot in my neighborhood, but I never thought about how important it was to have those places until the pandemic shut so many things down.”

Many cities are recognizing how zoning bylaws limit the ability to build these third spaces in residential areas. This includes Vancouver, which has streamlined the permitting process, offering micro-business licenses and creating flexible zoning regulations to allow for more mixed-use developments that include housing and ground-level shops or cafés.

Safe Streets and Small Interventions

When people can safely use streets for active transportation like walking and biking around their neighborhood, they are more likely to get out of their homes and cars to interact with their neighbors, support local businesses, and socialize outdoors. Sometimes, the simplest interventions to make our streets safe, like crosswalks, four-way stops, bollards, and lighting, can have the biggest impact.

Peg shared a story about her relatives visiting from Bogota, Colombia, who were amazed to be able to walk safely under Vancouver’s overpasses. It's a reminder that even small details like well-lit walkways and wide sidewalks give people a sense of security while walking.

We also spoke about how small, low-cost interventions like adding more benches in our public spaces can build community. “One of my favorite episodes of the Alone Together podcast was about benches. They are special because they’re not just a place to sit, they’re spots available to anyone - that availability turns benches into opportunities for connections.”

“Benches are bridges between those eager to chat, and those wanting to just listen," said Peg. "When we sit on a bench, we’re indicating we’re part of a world that maybe we feel too lonely or afraid to fully participate in. Benches give us an opportunity to be engaged in our surroundings, whether it's observing from the side or opening up a chance for conversation.”

What Can We Do?

So, what can we do to rebuild our connections in a post-pandemic city? Here are a few ideas:

Support local businesses: Visit that new coffee shop, browse the farmers market, or check out a local art show. These activities help keep our communities vibrant and provide spaces for us to gather.

Get involved: Go to those local events in your community, or even volunteer to help organize one. Lobby your local government for safer streets and better public spaces. You might be surprised at how quickly you can connect with others who share your interests.

Start small: Organize a neighborhood gathering, strike up a conversation with someone on the bus, or simply offer a friendly smile to a passerby. "Even if that means, you know, checking in on our neighbors, asking if someone is doing ok." These small acts of kindness can go a long way in building a sense of community.

We all have a role to play in creating the kind of city we want to live in. According to Peg, "we have a responsibility to reach out to other people to make our communities a place where everyone feels connected."

Mogens Smed: Interior DCC Redefining Sustainability with Next-Gen Echo Tech Platform at Falkbuilt

Did you know that manufacturing and construction businesses affect the environment? Like, in a terrible way? Yes, you heard that right. I looked into it and uncovered some interesting information. 

Construction companies work with different kinds of materials wherein half of the utilized products go to complete waste, ending up in bins and then landfills. This leads to air and land pollution. 

The equipment that is used in construction makes a lot of noise leading to noise pollution and disruptions for its neighbors. The smell that is in the air while using equipment and materials and the dust that is left behind after construction, can be quite hazardous and harmful to both the workers as well as to the environment and surroundings. Specifically, with a world that is running very short on our finite non-renewable resources, the quantity of water being used by these industries is in tons, and just imagine how much is being wasted!

Increasing pollution in the land, air, and water is affecting the Earth and its inhabitants. We as a people and the present generation, together, have started taking the necessary steps to reduce and move towards a zero-emission future for the sake of our dear planet. Quickly, innovatively, creatively, and sustainably! 

With the advancements in technological tools and resources that are at our fingertips, many companies are leveraging tech and integrating several innovative ideas and tools into the core of their products and services. This is a great strategy for digital construction innovation, no doubt! 

In the Manufacturing and Construction Industry, the conventional types of constructing, building, designing, manufacturing, and delivering are taken up a notch in the industry and market. So to speak, how fascinating is the idea of integrating a new generation of technology with the interior construction of buildings and spaces? Real cool right!? It’s indeed an efficient strategy that works well in resolving the rising challenges and global concerns in the industry. 

So, come join us as we share deep insights into a sustainable interior design revolution with a Canadian company – Falkbuilt, co-founded by Mogens Smed, which has digitized interior construction for prefab, with a new process called DCC (Digital Component Construction) that is powered by the next-gen tech – Echo which is an agnostic, cloud-computing machine learning platform that uses Revit Model (Revise-Instantly).   

Entrepreneur, Pioneer, Risk-Taker, and Deal-Breaker – The Face of Falkbuilt – Mogens Smed:

The co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Falkbuilt Ltd. is Mogens Smed. Mogens co-founded an interior Digital Component Construction -DCC (a process of integrating traditional construction methods with new technology) which is powered by an innovative technology called Echo – an agnostic, cloud-based, machine-learning platform for prefab from design through manufacturing to delivery and installation. This process and tech reduces and overcomes environmental and economic concerns in build, design, materials, freight, quality, time, and costs. The use of the Revit Model (Revise-Instantly), and Ensacpe and Inventor models, allows stakeholders to meet digitally and create, edit, and review a 3D model of the structure/space/building.  

Residing in Calgary, Canada – Mogens Smed was the Chief Executive Officer at his father’s cabinetmaking company – SMED International, wherein for 15 years he shifted from furniture to modular interior construction, manufacturing, and full-height movable walls, access flooring, and modular furniture. He later again became a CEO at Evans Consoles. 

In 2004, Mogens then co-founded and became CEO of DIRTT Environmental Solutions (DIRTT – Doing It Right This Time), where he pioneered digital modular sustainable solutions in construction alongside Barrie Loberg – the Vice President of Software Development. Thereafter in the year 2019, Mogens and Barrie co-founded Falkbuilt Ltd. – a prefab construction and manufacturer of digital components, and Echo – a construction tech cloud-computing platform to streamline the construction process efficiently and effectively. The company was established and its headquarters is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. 

Mogens’ accolades and accomplishments include – being named by Interiors and Sources Magazine as the Environmental Champion in 2004, the American Society of Interior Designers award for his efforts in mitigating construction wastes and making interiors sustainable and durable, and Ernst & Young awarded the EY Prairies’ Entrepreneur of Year – Clean-Tech in 2013.  

About Falkbuilt:

Falkbuilt was co-founded by Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, in 2019, and is headquartered in Calgary, Alerta, Canada. The company is built on combining proven interior construction methods with next-generation interior construction tech – Echo, a cloud-computing software and platform, to build high-performing, sustainable, and cost-effective environments. 

A digitized interior construction business, Falkbuilt adopts a construction method process of DCC – Digital Component Construction, where traditional construction methods are integrated and powered with innovative technology like Echo to create cost and time-effective structures/buildings/spaces that are high-performing, meet industry standards, and are environmentally friendly. 

“Total clarity and predictability in design and cost with effective and timely scheduling of processes, the design, manufacturing, and delivery are enhanced to provide premium quality products that eliminate silos with Echo.” – Falkbuilt Ltd. 

With sustainability initiatives and circular interior economy practices adopted at its core, Falkbuilt moves with a smaller carbon footprint, reduced factory waste, fewer materials, reduced freight, saving 2 tonnes of CO2 emission through the DCC process, fewer trades, less on-site waste productions, in-house manufacturing and innovation process, smarter design, durable finishing and delivery, designed for disassembly, saving costs and time, and the increased use of sustainable and recyclable materials.  Like everyone else in this generation, Falkbuilt aims and envisions a future where interior construction is better for the Earth as well as its inhabitants and hence promises to “provide the most responsive service the construction industry has ever seen”.

Adaptability in Action: The Evolution of Workspace Solutions in Calgary

Here, we will discuss what makes Calgary an innovative hub for adapting office spaces for today’s business needs, including start-ups and freelancers.

Evolution of Workspace Environments

From Traditional to Modern: A Shift in Calgary's Workspace Dynamics

The traditional office setup, once the cornerstone of the corporate world in Calgary, is giving way to more dynamic and flexible work environments. Driven by demands for cost efficiency, enhanced networking opportunities, and improved work-life balance, businesses across the city are increasingly embracing hybrid models. These models blend remote work with in-office days to create a balanced, productive environment for employees, catering to their diverse needs and lifestyles.

Technological Integration in Workspace Solutions

At the heart of Calgary's workspace evolution is the integration of cutting-edge technology. High-speed internet access, advanced cloud computing solutions, and mobile collaboration tools have eliminated many of the barriers previously associated with remote work. This tech-forward approach has paved the way for the rise of coworking spaces and virtual offices, enabling professionals to work efficiently regardless of their physical location. Furthermore, local tech companies continually innovate, offering new tools that enhance communication and collaborative efforts across different platforms.

The Rise of Coworking and Shared Spaces

The concept of coworking spaces has rapidly gained traction in Calgary, reflecting a shift towards more flexible, community-focused work environments. These spaces go beyond just providing a desk or office; they foster a collaborative community where members share ideas, skills, and resources freely. Catering to everyone from individual freelancers to large corporations, coworking spaces in Calgary offer scalable, cost-effective solutions that facilitate networking and community engagement, vital for growth and innovation in today's economy.

Sustainability Practices in Workspace Management

Another significant trend in Calgary's workspace solutions is the emphasis on sustainability. Many workspace providers are incorporating eco-friendly technologies, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable building materials in their designs. These green initiatives help reduce the environmental impact of business operations and promote healthier, more enjoyable workplaces. Such practices are increasingly crucial to businesses prioritizing corporate social responsibility and attracting like-minded employees and partners.

As Calgary continues to navigate the changing landscape of workplace demands, its adaptive and innovative approaches to workspace solutions highlight the city’s resilience and proactive outlook. The evolution in workspace solutions, from shared warehouse space to the burgeoning shared office space in Calgary, positions the city as a leader in fostering flexible and efficient work environments. These adaptable solutions not only meet the current needs of businesses but are also well-prepared to anticipate and adapt to future workplace trends, ensuring Calgary remains a frontrunner in the evolution of modern workspaces.

Transforming Cities: How Smart Technology is Changing Commercial Real Estate

The urban landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, spurred by the need for cities worldwide to reassess their infrastructures and development strategies. A notable consequence of this shift is the increasing prevalence of vacant office spaces, as evidenced by initiatives like Calgary’s Downtown Office Conversion Program. 

However, rather than signaling the decline of urban areas, these developments represent an unparalleled opportunity for innovation and revitalization. Layer 10, a frontrunner in pioneering advancements in commercial real estate, perceives this moment as a pivotal juncture where technology and urban development intersect to redefine urban living. 

In this edition, we delve into the emergence of smart cities and their symbiotic relationship with commercial real estate, exploring how these transformative forces are shaping the cities of tomorrow.

The Emergence of Smart Cities:

At the core of smart cities lie cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and advanced data analytics. These technologies empower cities to optimize public services, streamline transportation systems, and manage resources efficiently.

 Global metropolises like Singapore, Barcelona, and Amsterdam stand as pioneers in the realm of smart city development, showcasing successful implementations of innovative technologies across various sectors.

Commercial Real Estate's Pivotal Role:

Commercial real estate is undergoing a profound evolution within the context of smart city development. Traditionally regarded as static structures, commercial properties are now transitioning into dynamic, interconnected components of the urban fabric.

 Layer 10 recognizes the pivotal role of commercial real estate in the smart city narrative, advocating for the integration of technology to enhance user experiences, optimize resource utilization, and foster sustainable growth.

 Smart energy management systems, driven by AI algorithms and IoT sensors, enable commercial properties to optimize energy consumption, reduce operational costs, and minimize environmental impact.

Enhancing Living Experiences in Smart Cities:

Central to the ethos of smart city development is the commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. 

Layer 10 is dedicated to leveraging technology to create vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable urban environments where people can thrive.

 Community-centric initiatives, such as the development of shared spaces and amenities, foster a sense of belonging and social cohesion within urban communities.

 Smart transportation systems, equipped with real-time data analytics and predictive modeling, enhance mobility and accessibility, facilitating seamless urban connectivity.

The Future of Urban Living:

Layer 10 envisions a future where technology enriches every facet of urban life, from transportation and infrastructure to healthcare and public services.

 By embracing innovation and collaboration, cities can become more equitable, resilient, and environmentally sustainable. 

Layer 10 is committed to leading the charge towards a brighter urban future, where technology serves as a catalyst for positive change and human well-being.

This exploration into smart cities and commercial real estate underscores Layer 10's dedication to driving urban transformation and innovation. 

We extend an invitation to stakeholders from diverse sectors to join us in shaping the cities of tomorrow, where technology enhances human experiences and fosters sustainable growth.

 Together, we can build a future where cities are not only smarter but also more livable, inclusive, and resilient.

PropGrow, as a real estate consultant, views the evolving landscape of urban development through the lens of opportunity and innovation. We recognize the increasing prevalence of vacant office spaces as a chance for transformation rather than a sign of decline, aligning with Layer 10's vision of leveraging technology to redefine urban living.

 We see smart cities as a groundbreaking approach to urban planning, where commercial real estate plays a pivotal role in fostering sustainable growth and enhancing user experiences.

 We emphasize the importance of collaboration across sectors to shape cities that are not only smarter but also more livable and resilient, echoing Layer 10's call for collective action in creating urban spaces fit for the future.

Astra Business Centre | Calgary (587) 327–7272 | Maximizing Your Business Potential with a Calgary Business Centre

In today’s dynamic business environment, flexibility, cost-efficiency, and networking opportunities are crucial for success. One effective way to achieve these goals is by utilizing a Calgary Business Centre. These centres offer various benefits that can help your business thrive, from providing professional coworking spaces to facilitating valuable connections. This blog explores how leveraging a Calgary Business Centre can maximize your business potential and why it’s a smart choice for entrepreneurs and established businesses alike.

What is a Calgary Business Centre?

A Calgary Business Centre is a shared workspace designed to meet the needs of modern businesses. It typically offers a range of services and amenities that help businesses operate efficiently without the overhead costs of maintaining a traditional office. These centres provide flexible coworking spaces, private offices, meeting rooms, and administrative support, making them ideal for freelancers, startups, and established companies seeking to optimize their workspace.

Benefits of Using a Calgary Business Centre

1. Cost Efficiency

One of the primary advantages of using a Calgary Business Centre is cost efficiency. Renting traditional office space often involves substantial upfront costs, including rent, utilities, maintenance, and office furniture. In contrast, a business centre offers a more affordable solution by providing all necessary amenities under one roof. With flexible rental options, you can choose a plan that fits your budget and scale up or down as needed.

2. Flexible Workspace Solutions

Flexibility is a significant benefit of coworking spaces in Calgary. Whether you need a hot desk, dedicated desk, or private office, a business centre can accommodate your needs. This flexibility is especially valuable for businesses experiencing growth or change, allowing you to adjust your workspace as your requirements evolve. Additionally, many business centres offer short-term leases or membership options, making it easy to adapt to your business’s needs without long-term commitments.

3. Professional Environment

A Calgary Business Centre provides a professional environment that enhances your business’s image. The centre is equipped with modern furnishings, high-speed internet, and advanced office technology. This setup not only improves your productivity but also makes a positive impression on clients and partners. Meeting rooms and conference facilities are typically available for client presentations and important meetings, ensuring you have a professional space to conduct business.

4. Networking Opportunities

Coworking spaces in Calgary foster a community of professionals from various industries. This environment provides ample networking opportunities, enabling you to connect with like-minded individuals, potential clients, and collaborators. Many business centres organize networking events, workshops, and seminars, which can be valuable for expanding your professional network and discovering new business opportunities.

5. Administrative Support

Administrative tasks can be time-consuming and distracting. A Calgary Business Centre often includes administrative support services such as receptionists, mail handling, and office management. This support allows you to focus on your core business activities while leaving the administrative tasks to experienced professionals. The availability of these services can improve your operational efficiency and streamline your day-to-day operations.

6. Scalability

As your business grows, your workspace needs may change. A Calgary Business Centre offers scalability, allowing you to adjust your office space according to your business’s size and requirements. Whether you need to expand your team or downsize temporarily, a business centre provides the flexibility to make these changes without the hassle of relocating or renegotiating leases.

7. Location and Accessibility

Calgary Business Centres are strategically located in prime areas, offering easy access to major business districts, transportation hubs, and amenities. Being situated in a central location enhances your business’s visibility and convenience for clients and employees. Additionally, the accessibility of public transportation and parking facilities ensures that commuting to and from the business centre is hassle-free.

Choosing the Right Calgary Business Centre

Selecting the right Calgary Business Centre involves considering several factors to ensure it aligns with your business needs. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:

1. Assess Your Needs

Determine what type of workspace you require. Do you need a private office, a coworking space, or a combination of both? Consider your team size, the nature of your work, and any specific requirements you may have. Understanding your needs will help you choose a business centre that offers the right facilities and services.

2. Evaluate the Amenities

Check the amenities provided by the business centre. Ensure they have the necessary facilities such as high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and office equipment. Additionally, look for other features like kitchen areas, lounge spaces, and event rooms that can enhance your work experience.

3. Consider the Location

The location of the business centre is crucial. Choose a centre that is conveniently located for your clients and employees. Proximity to public transportation, parking, and nearby services can make a significant difference in daily operations and accessibility.

4. Review the Lease Terms

Examine the lease terms and flexibility offered by the business centre. Ensure that the rental agreements align with your business needs and provide the flexibility to scale up or down as required. Understanding the terms and conditions will help you avoid any unexpected costs or limitations.

5. Visit the Centre

Before making a final decision, visit the business centre to get a feel for the environment. Observe the facilities, interact with the staff, and assess the overall atmosphere. This visit will help you determine if the centre meets your expectations and provides a conducive working environment.

Success Stories: How Businesses Thrive with Calgary Business Centres

Many businesses have successfully leveraged Calgary Business Centres to enhance their operations and achieve their goals. Here are a few examples:

1. Startup Success

A tech startup used a Calgary Business Centre to launch its operations. The flexible workspace allowed the team to start small and expand as needed. The networking opportunities and professional environment provided valuable connections and a credible image, contributing to the startup’s rapid growth and success.

2. Freelancer Flexibility

A freelance graphic designer found the ideal coworking space in a Calgary Business Centre. The availability of high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and administrative support allowed the freelancer to focus on creative work without worrying about office management. The networking events organized by the centre also led to new client opportunities and collaborations.

3. Expanding Enterprises

An established business that needed additional office space took advantage of the scalability offered by a Calgary Business Centre. The ability to quickly adjust the workspace size and lease terms helped the business accommodate growth without the complexities of traditional office leases.

Conclusion

Maximizing your business potential with Astra Calgary Business Centre offers numerous advantages, from cost efficiency and flexibility to professional support and networking opportunities.

Brief introduction of IRCC

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is a federal government department you will be interacting with both before and after you arrive in Canada.

Clients interaction with IRCC before and after arrival Your exposure before you arrive will be through online immigration applications or the many visa offices outside Canada. After you arrive you may have further involvement through one of more than 500 IRCC-supported service provider organizations for settlement services, and interact with IRCC bylater extending your permanent resident card, and eventually going through the process to become a Canadian citizen.

IRCC in-land offices IRCC has an operations support centre in Canada’s capital city of Ottawa, and immigration case processing centres in Ottawa, Edmonton, Mississauga and Sydney. It also has offices in Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta; two in Vancouver and one in Surrey, British Columbia; one in Winnipeg for Manitoba and Nunavut; Fredericton, New Brunswick; St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador; Yellowknife, Northwest Territories; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Mississauga, two in Toronto, and Windsor in Ontario; Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; two in Montreal, Quebec; and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

It also has temporary offices across Canada for citizenship tests, interviews and ceremonies and immigration interviews.

IRCC help center Your first point of contact for questions is the IRCC Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100.  Wait times can be long and both immigrant settlement agency staff and Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants complain the answers to questions are not consistent. One call centre employee can give you one answer, and another could tell you something different. However, the IRCC website has comprehensive information.

Front counter IRCC staff do not provide general information or updates on specific files. IRCC was formerly known as Citizenship and Immigration Canada and its website at www.cic.gc.ca is thorough and contains most of the information you will need, including application forms and application guides. There is an online help centre at www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/index-featured-can.asp

The objectives of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and its accompanying Regulations are the sources relied upon for immigration and refugee applications, decisions, and appeals. IRPA has 10 objectives, described in the Act, including: to permit Canada to pursue the maximum social, cultural and economic benefits of immigration; strengthen the Canadian social and cultural fabric; support a prosperous economy with the benefits shared across all regions of Canada; reunite families; promote the integration of permanent residents; facilitate the entry of visitors, students and temporary workers; protect the public health and safety of Canadian society; promote international justice and security; and work with the provinces to secure better recognition of foreign credentials of permanent residents and more rapid integration into society.

Recent PR programs of IRCC  Recent IRCC programs designed to share the benefits of immigration across Canada include the Atlantic Immigration Pilot and the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot. The Greater Toronto Area continues to attract one-third of all immigrants to Canada, with Vancouver and Montreal also receiving large shares. 

IRCC’s immigration plan IRCC is estimating between 310,000 and 360,000 immigrants will arrive in 2020, with a target of 340,000. The largest numbers will be in the various economic streams, with the remainder in family class, refugees and protected persons or humanitarian and compassionate categories. An increasing number of spaces will be devoted to provincial nominees. The immigration target continues to rise each year to counteract an ageing population and shrinking labour force.

IRCC says, in its Departmental Plan, that it “continues to manage permanent resident selection, attracting the best and the brightest to Canada, through its Express Entry application management system and its collaboration with provinces and territories that nominate permanent resident candidates.”

One of its goals is to eliminate the backlog of privately sponsored refugee applications and reduce processing times to an average of 12 months for most applications.

IRCC’s current priorities are to grow immigration; streamline economic immigration program requirements; improve settlement outcomes; improve client experience; provide international leadership on refugee and migration issues; introduce a more inclusive citizenship study guide; and work with Canada Border Services Agency, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the provinces to address increases in irregular migration to Canada.

In addition to a target of 340,000 immigrants in 2020, the number of temporary residents arriving will be in the millions. In 2016-17 there were almost four million visas and electronic travel authorizations issued to visitors, international students and temporary workers.

Another IRCC goal is to focus on improvements to program delivery through the more than 500 service provider organizations it funds across Canada. It especially wants to see improvements in language training, employment services and support to vulnerable newcomers, including visible minority women. 

It also wants to work with the service provider organizations to ensure that services pertaining to culture, history, sports and recreation are available. Cross-cultural activities and one-on-one exchanges will be encouraged to build language skills. It will continue to work with the more than 60 Local Immigration Partnerships across the country to encourage welcoming communities for newcomers. 

IRCC’s budget for 2019-20 is almost $2.4 billion and approximately $1.4 billion is allocated to settlement support services.  It has a total workforce of more than 7,000. A little more than 1,000 people work in the area of visitors, international students and temporary workers; almost 3,000 work in immigrant and refugee selection and integration; approximately 1,600 work in citizenship and passports; and almost 1.600 in internal services. The thousands of people across Canada working for service provider organizations are employees of non-profit organizations, not IRCC.
