Its primary objective is to compare the immigration experience of the United States with that of other labour-importing countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Western Europe. Additionally, CCIS conducts field research in immigrant-receiving and sending countries and trains undergraduate and graduate students to gather primary data among immigrant and refugee populations.
