520 _aIn a world characterized by increasing globalization and demographic shifts, immigrant entrepreneurship has emerged as a vital driver of economic growth, innovation, and social cohesion.

This book provides an examination of the dimensions, challenges and opportunities in immigrant entrepreneurship in Canada and abroad. The chapters in this book provide valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of immigrant entrepreneurship and its contributions to economic development and social cohesion.
