1 North Etobicoke LIP Summit Woodbine Convention Centre June 28 th, 2011

2 LIPs stems from the Canada-Ontario Immigration Agreement Strategic Plan, Strategy 3: –CIC and MCI (Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration) will work with municipalities and federal-provincial government departments to enable partnerships that will integrate newcomers into the economic and social life of Ontario communities. CIC and MCI developed the LIP initiative, which was further refined, in consultation with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the City of Toronto. Background 2

3 Ontario municipalities and regions want to encourage newcomers to settle and stay in their communities. Communities that are organized, welcoming, and committed to helping newcomers succeed have the best potential to attract and retain new immigrants. Local knowledge of the service delivery landscape is essential to building logical, clear, and coordinated settlement service pathways for newcomers. Ontario municipalities want to provide a community lens on integration of funding decisions. Why LIPs? 3

4 The objective of LIPs is to strengthen the role of regions and local communities in the integration of newcomers by: Supporting better coordination of integration services, including settlement and language training in local communities. Providing a framework to facilitate the development and implementation of sustainable local and regional solutions. Supporting the development and implementation of strategies and plans that provide community-specific solutions for achieving better outcomes for newcomers. Objectives 4
