Immigration and Settlement Strategy
Local Immigration Partnerships are funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to:
- Foster a systematic approach to engaging service providers and other institutions in newcomers’ integration process;
- Support community-level research and local strategic planning; and,
- Improve coordination of effective services that facilitate immigrant settlement and integration.
The overall objective is to enhance collaboration, coordination and strategic planning in order to foster a more welcoming and inclusive community, and improve the settlement and integration outcomes. The project goal is the development of a local strategy to attract and retain immigrants, to be completed by April 2016.
