A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), also referred to as a “visitor visa”, is a travel document that is placed in international students' passports and is used to allow them to enter or re-enter Canada. If international students are from a visa required country they will want to ensure their TRV is valid if they plan to travel outside Canada.

Join our International Student Advisors virtually on May 19 from 10 - 11 a.m. to learn about the TRV extension process.

Description

CBRCanada presents “Moving the Dial,” our 2023 e-Learning series. This series will highlight action-oriented community-based research that is ‘moving the dial’ on today’s pressing societal challenges. An important hallmark of community-based research, taking an action-orientated and impactful approach, means research partnerships mobilizing knowledge and mobilizing communities towards positive societal change. The research projects highlighted within this series demonstrate impact of community-based research. We will hear about research partnerships that facilitated actions improving societal conditions, including changes in policies, systems, organizations, and communities where everyone is supported and belongs.

Webinar

This webinar will delve into a community-based participatory research study "South Etobicoke Housing Affordability", led by Salomeh Ahmadi, Humber College, in partnership with LAMP Community Health Centre that focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of the most marginalized in South Etobicoke (Toronto), specifically low-income, seniors and students who face housing affordability issues.

There are many issues standing in the way of affordable housing in cities across Canada. They pose threats to those facing poverty, health challenges, and others including working-class citizens, students, and seniors. This webinar will not only document the problems, but it will explore ways to leverage research results in advocating for policy changes.

Live Discussion

Following the presentation, CBRCanada will facilitate a live discussion to explore implications for practice. Breakout groups will be facilitated by webinar presenters. The event will conclude with a large group report-back dialogue. The live discussion will not be recorded. CBRCanada will share a summary of key discussion themes following the event.
