Welcome to the AMSSA Research Connections (ARC) E-Portal

ARC is a searchable database of research on immigration and immigrant settlement issues. The aim of ARC is to disseminate research to frontline workers and policy-makers in the field of immigrant settlement—to help them meet the everyday challenges of planning, decision-making, program design and the preparation of funding submissions.

ARC provides summaries for each of its featured research papers, enabling users to quickly gain the information they need, as well as the option to download the full research papers. The flexible search function allows users to browse by theme, by a combination of themes, and/or by using a specific keyword. ARC also features an innovative glossary of terms specific to the fields of immigration and immigrant settlement, a multimedia page with presentations on current research, and links to numerous online resources.

AMSSA would like to gratefully acknowledge Metropolis BC for their financial support of this project.
