Toronto, Ontario, Jan 16, 2024 – Ipsos, one of the world’s leading market research companies, is pleased to announce its partnership with the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC), Canada’s leading newcomer-serving charity, to produce Canada’s largest and most comprehensive insights program to understand the Canadian newcomer experience. The study, which is the largest of its kind, will provide an understanding of newcomers throughout their immigration journey, from recent arrival to becoming Canadian citizens, and beyond.
The research will bring the voices of 10,000 verified newcomers to Canadian leaders in the private and public sectors, providing the insights they need to win in Canada’s fastest growing market segment and play their part in making Canada a welcoming country that newcomers fall in love with and contribute to, as proud citizens.
Through this unique partnership, the ICC and Ipsos are launching a new syndicated tracking program to provide continuous access to agencies and service providers, with information to expand and improve the services they provide to newcomers across Canada.
Cynthia Pachovski, CEO of Ipsos in Canada remarked, “We are delighted at the prospect of building an insights partnership with the ICC that raises the voices of Canadian newcomers. This collaboration reinforces Ipsos’ commitment to understanding a global and diverse population and providing our clients with a total understanding of society, markets and people in an ever-evolving world.”
Daniel Bernhard, CEO of the ICC emphasized the authenticity and value of the insights that will be generated. “So many people claim to speak for immigrants. Thanks to this partnership, the verified adult immigrants we serve through our Canoo program can speak for themselves, and be heard. We worked hard to find the very best partner to bring this unique enterprise to market. Ipsos is clearly that partner.”
