Immigration Bureaucracy & Postwar Policymaking

Meet Jennifer Elrick, professor in the Department of Sociology at
McGill University. Author of Making Middle-Class Multiculturalism:
Immigration Bureaucrats and Policymaking in Postwar Canada, we talk
about how bureaucrats in the federal government drove policy making
in the area of immigration through their review of who is
admissible to Canada in individual decision-making. A fascinating
look at how Canada's immigration system was built in the
administrative arm and how perceptions of race, skillsets and
family are reflected in policy.
