Before the deliberative regional dialogue were held, Canada’s World conducted preliminary research on the new realities facing Canada in the international arena, which included:

• an online dialogue in the Canada’s World ;
• 14 roundtable sessions;
• interviews with over 200 Canadians;
• and, a poll of Canadian attitudes towards international policy, led by Environics.

Based on the research, the Canada's World Advisory Committee selected nine new realities — issues that will define Canada’s role in the world in the next 10 to 15 years — as themes to focus the citizens' dialogue.
