The Canadian Government has been asked by its Economic Advisory Council to increase immigration by 50% in the next 5 years --largely by enticing international students to stay and meet the skill needs of Canada.

This Summer the project will be prototyped and tested. Come and join us as we seek wisdom to design it, partnerships to execute it and participants to develop it.

Note: we will also talk about followup initiatve "WelcomeAlpha" a multi-lingual Alpha will spend nearly $1m marketing in Toronto for Fall 2017
