Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) Final Report
Funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the Local Immigration Partnership – or LIP – initiative encourages communities across Ontario to develop a comprehensive plan for the delivery of newcomer services.
It is a research investment to help communities put immigration on their planning and programming agendas and benefit from the successful social and economic integration of new immigrants. Collaboration and community participation underpin the research framework in that the resulting settlement strategy will bring together local agencies and organizations to better assist newcomers with improved or integrated programming and services.
Lead by the County of Lambton, a LIP Council consisting of community members and stakeholders has been formed to guide the efforts of project staff in developing the newcomer settlement strategy and corresponding action plan.
