A national alliance dedicated to providing an evidence base for newcomer settlement & integration and the promotion of welcoming communities in Canada
A Northeastern Ontario immigration project launched in September, 2014, has created three new Immigrant Employers’ Councils, provides HR services to employers, and has settlement workers making monthly visits to three previously unserved smaller centres. The project will also assist municipalities in the development of their immigrant attraction and retention strategies.
Canada’s approach to regulating and managing the admission of newcomers is undergoing a fundamental change. Under the emerging regime, employers and educational institutions will play a far greater role in migrant recruitment, settlement, and integration. Importantly, in these areas, neither employers nor educational institutions necessarily possess the expertise and infrastructure needed to fully respond to and capitalize on the shifting policy and program environment.
