Abstract: This paper examines the intersection of migration law, engineering innovations, and social cohesion in integrating economic migrants in Europe, Canada, and the United States. The increasing inflow of economic migrants poses challenges for host countries, including impacts on economic growth, infrastructure, productivity, and social cohesion. Migrant professionals in fields like engineering can contribute significantly to addressing these challenges, especially in areas such as affordable housing, transportation, and energy systems. This study analyzes how migration laws affect the integration of professional migrants and how engineering solutions can foster this process. The research highlights the importance of balancing immediate migrant needs, such as work permits and housing, with long-term goals of social cohesion. It also identifies disparities between migrant and local populations in access to infrastructure and services. Addressing these disparities requires migration laws to manage both short-term migrant needs and long-term integration strategies, while fostering economic growth and social stability. Engineering innovations in housing, transportation, and healthcare must promote equitable access and community cohesion. Effective integration demands collaboration between legal experts, urban planners, and engineers to create inclusive environments. Policies related to education, healthcare, and welfare should be aligned with urban planning efforts to ensure that migrants contribute to and benefit from sustainable, inclusive development. Legal frameworks must balance economic, social, and infrastructural needs for successful integration.
