Victor Piché is honorary professor at the department of demography of Université de Montréal, specialised in the field of international migration. For the last ten years, he has been interested in the links between international migration and globalisation, focussing on the rights of migrant workers. He has directed a study for UNESCO on the reasons why Canada refuses to ratify the UN Convention on the protection of the rights of migrants and members of their families.
He has carried out several surveys on migration in West Africa as well as in Quebec. His recent work on Africa focuses on international migration and regional integration.
Most of his research deals with the economic integration of migrants in Montreal as well as in major West African cities (Ouagadougou, Bamako and Dakar). He has recently completed a survey on remittances to Haiti of Haitians living in Montreal in collaboration with colleagues from York University (Toronto) who have carried out the same survey among Jamaicans. Finally, he was director of a Bill & Melinda Gates project which has developed a masters degree in population and health at the University of Ouagadougou.
Victor Piché was professor in the Department of Demography at the University of Montreal from 1972 to 2006. He was also senior advisor on international migration and human rights for Action Canada for Population and Development.
