Research security, immigration, and employment law considerations

This event will be hosted in person at Stauffer Library RM 014, with the option to join virtually. Light refreshments and snacks will be served for those attending in person. 

This session is designed for faculty members who are involved in recruiting international researchers, including postdoctoral fellows, academic visitors, and visiting research students.

Hosted by the Office of the Provost (Lynne-Marie Postovit, Vice-Provost (Academic Affairs)) and the Vice-Principal Research portfolio (Brian Amsden, Associate Vice-Principal (Research)), the event will feature insights from Samir Yassin, Senior Program Advisor, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), alongside talks from university leaders in security, immigration, and employment law. 

Participants will explore how IRCC policies and government sanctions affect recruitment, onboarding, and retention of international research talent and discuss strategies to strengthen Queen’s University’s global research mission.

Please note, this event will not be recorded. In-person attendance is recommended.
