About the fellowship
The Bridging Divides Civil Society & Public Administration Fellowship at the Global Migration Institute program welcomes practitioners from civil society organizations or government bodies who have international experience working in the field of migration or immigrant integration and inclusion to apply to participate in a one-month residency at Toronto Metropolitan University.
The fellowship program promotes international collaboration and learning exchange between practitioners and researchers. It provides a unique professional development opportunity for practitioners to share and build on their field experience, connect to an expert team of Canadian and international researchers and local stakeholders, or conduct their own field research. The experience is an opportunity for practitioners to develop innovative ideas and evidence-based good practices to bring back to their organizations. At the same time, practitioners are also encouraged to contribute their perspectives to enrich the work of researchers at the university.
The Fellowship includes:
A stipend, including a travel allowance, to contribute to associated expenses for a total value of $5,000 CAD.
An academic host from the research team.
Access to office space and office resources.
Professional development and networking through participation in research events and workshops.
Call for Application deadline: May 1, 2026
The Civil Society & Public Administration Fellowship program invites applications from practitioners outside of Canada for the 2026-2027 academic year. The residency takes place in Toronto and must occur between October 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 for a consecutive period of 20 to 35 days.
