The Multi-level Governance of Borders in Relation to Transnational Migration: A Case Study of British Columbia

Alex Gunn | BIG Research Reports | #25

This paper explores how immigration and integration policy in Canada has become an increasingly multi-level phenomenon with provincial governments, and to a certain extent municipalities, becoming increasingly prominent players in these policy fields. By analyzing these two policy fields, the paper also explores how borders are managed in the Canadian context; in particular, it explores the role of the different levels of government in managing the flow of transnational migrants across Canada’s international borders and their role in integrating migrants into broader Canadian society.
