An Overview and Insights From IRCC\u2019s Evaluation of the Family Reunification Program<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: David Kurfurst, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)\r\n\r\nFamily reunification has long been a cornerstone of Canada\u2019s immigration programming by allowing recent immigrants and Canadians to reunite with their family members. From the perspective of understanding outcomes and in support of the program\u2019s future direction, IRCC is conducting an evaluation of its Family Reunification Program from 2014 to 2021. This presentation will highlight how the evaluation uses a comprehensive methodology built on multiple lines of evidence and data sources, as well as some of the early insights into the program.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>David Kurfurst, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Jessica Schafer, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Kurt Powell, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong><span>(Download All Presentations)<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<h4>3. What Drives Immigrant Economic Integration? Assessing the Impact of Settlement, Education and Training Interventions<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Iain Reeve, The Conference Board of Canada\r\n\r\nWhich settlement interventions and education and training programs advance the economic integration of immigrants early on? What kinds of \u2018Canadian experience\u2019 boost employment and earning prospects for new permanent residents, temporary foreign workers, and international students? Does effectiveness of settlement practices differ for vulnerable groups like racialized newcomer women? Based on new research and insights from the field, this session will explore these questions and inform the design and delivery of settlement and other services that set permanent and temporary residents up for economic success.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>The Economic Integration Value of Canadian Education and Work Experience\u00a0<\/strong>\r\nIain Reeve, The Conference Board of Canada<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Significance of Self-awareness, Adaptability and Communication Skills Among Immigrants\u00a0<span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nSabina Michael, UofT Rotman \u2013 Intercultural Skills Lab<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Designing and Delivering Industry-engaged Employment Programming\u00a0<span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nSue Sadler, ACCES Employment<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Designing and Testing Targeted Employment Services for Racialized Newcomer Women for Maximum Impact\u00a0<span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nSusanna Gurr, Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>4. Expanding Settlement Beyond Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver - Leveraging Inter-sectoral Collaboration to Increase Immigration to Smaller Urban and Rural Communities<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Sylvie Moreau, Colleges and Institutes Canada\r\n\r\nCommunities outside of the traditional major metro landing cities are motivated to attract immigrants and uniquely suited to facilitating their meaningful employment, but many lack access to the audience and resources necessary to pursue these goals. Collaboration is the key to unlocking these communities' potential to attract and retain more immigrants. In this panel, researchers, immigrant service providing organizations and municipal actors will explore how non-traditional landing communities are piecing together the knowledge, strategies and connections they need to support diverse and vibrant immigration across all of Canada. Exciting results from recent collaborations will highlight potential paths forward for Canada.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Fostering Inter-Sectoral Collaboration that Accelerates Pre-Arrival Immigrants\u2019 Labour Market Entry in Smaller Urban and Rural Communities<\/strong>\r\nCameron Moser, ACCES Employment<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Learning Together What Works: The Connecting Canada Project<\/strong>\r\nJulie Rodier, Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Delivering on Immigration: The City of Moncton Role in Cross Sectorial Partnerships in Times of Disruption<\/strong>\r\nAngelique Reddy-Kelala, City of Moncton<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong><span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<h4>5.

The purpose of the project is to understand the needs of RAP staff in assessing and supporting clients with mental distress and to evaluate, develop and test a client centered model of service to reduce mental health distress among RAP clients, including providing staff with essential tools and resources. This project highlights the importance of intersectoral collaboration, systems change and equity-oriented care in exploring the mental health needs of government assisted refugees. Mental health initiatives will also be explored in respective RAP-SPOs.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Research Project: Improving RAPs Model of Service for Clients in Mental Distress <span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nAamna Ashraf, Centre for Addiction and Mental health (CAMH)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Exploring Mental Health Initiatives in Various RAP Service Provider Organizations \u00a0<\/strong>\r\nVince Pietropaolo, COSTI Immigrant Services \r\nJennifer Sandu, London Cross Cultural Learner Centre (CCLC) <\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>6. An Unexpected Partnership: How Two Organizations Came Together to Support Unaccompanied and Separated Ukrainian Children<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Danielle Ungara, CWICE, Peel CAS\r\n\r\nJIAS was made aware of unaccompanied and separated Ukrainian children arriving in Canada under the CUAET program by a grassroots organization called Canada Hosts Ukrainians. Due to the high-risk nature of the situation, JIAS quickly convened key stakeholders including CWICE to develop an action plan. JIAS was awarded IRCC funding and collaborated with CWICE to further study the issue and come up with recommendations for best practices. We will share the results at the workshop, along with lessons learned for the settlement sector. It is a story about two sectors coming together with shared intentions to ensure vulnerable children are protected.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Liz Okai, CWICE, Peel CAS<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Danielle Ungara, CWICE, Peel CAS<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Laura Gold, Jewish Immigrant Aid Services Toronto (JIAS)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>7. Workplace Language Training Model - OCISO, Refugee and Immigrant Supports for Employment - RAISE<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Hiba Fazl Ullah, Community Economic Development &amp; OCISO\r\n\r\nResearch indicates that having adequate workplace language skills and understanding Canadian workplace culture remain two topmost barriers facing vulnerable newcomers entering employment within NOC Skills C&amp;D in Canada (Cheng, Im, Doe, &amp; Douglas, 2020). Studies surveying employers\u2019 perspectives indicated these factors influence employers\u2019 ability to recruit and retain this demographic. Our innovative Workplace Language Training (WLT) is a unique, first-of-a-kind, research-backed program developed by OCISO and Carleton University\u2019s Linguistics\u2019 School, tested on-the-job at employer sites, that takes a step forward in the direction of a much-needed non-traditional, workplace language and cultural skills training to support vulnerable newcomers to employment.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Michael Rodgers,\u202fCarleton University<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Alexis Dominguez, OCISO<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span><strong>(Download Presentation)<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n<h4>8. Community Responses to Global Pandemic: Promising Practices from Canada, US, Europe and Oceania<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Joanne Winter, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)\r\n\r\nThis workshop will examine the evolving role of welcoming communities and local partnerships in supporting immigrant integration and social cohesion in the context of pandemic and post-pandemic recovery. Examples of promising practices will include trends from Canada's Local Immigration Partnerships, including participation in Welcoming Week, as well as trends from other partners in the Welcoming International Alliance featuring innovative approaches from USA, Europe and Oceania. The workshop will highlight how communities have responded, what policies and initiatives helped overcome pandemic challenges and will compare best practices, public campaign tools and community partnership models that can be carried forward as the pandemic evolves.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Trends from Across the Welcoming International Alliance <span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nChristina Pope, Welcoming America, and Kate Leaney, Welcoming Australia<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Local Immigration Partnerships in Unusual Times: Successes and Lessons Learned\u00a0<span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nPaulina Wyrzykowski,\u202fToronto South Local Immigration Partnership &amp;\u202fDouglas Olthof, Jasper Local Immigration Partnership, Co-chairs of National LIP Secretariat<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Immigration Matters and Inclusive Communities: Marketing and Advertising Campaign\u00a0<span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nLisa Woodley, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>9. Expanding Data Horizon for Immigration Planning and Research<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Jennifer Watts, Immigrant Services Association of Nove Scotia (ISANS)\r\n\r\nIn addition to iCare and other administrative records held by IRCC, settlement services organizations (SPOs) have accumulated client data. These data hold much potential as valuable resources for planning and evaluation of programs and services within the SPOs, government agencies and academic research. To unlock such potential, collaboration across the various sectors is essential to exchange resources and expertise.

From Pre-Arrival to Employment: Collaborating to Create a Seamless Francophone Integration Pathway<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Arcelia Camacho, ACCES Employment\r\n\r\nThe Francophone Integration Pathway supports Francophone immigrants from pre-arrival to citizenship. Effective collaboration of stakeholders at all points of this pathway fosters strong ties between newcomers and Francophone communities, supporting the vitality of Francophone communities. Active Anglo-Franco partnerships are being created that seamlessly transition Francophone immigrants in minority contexts through this entire pathway. This session will highlight how Francophone pre-arrival service delivery supports clients in identifying and succeeding within bilingual programming and how these partnerships accelerate the success of French-speaking newcomers.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Partnerships That Support Bilingual Newcomers\u2019 Success\u00a0<\/strong>\r\nArcelia Camacho,\u202fACCES Employment<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>From Pre-arrival to On-The Ground Services : A Seamless Transition Through Strategic Partnerships\u00a0<\/strong>\r\nAura Maria Forero, Actions Interculturelles<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Catalysing and Supporting Newcomers to Reach Their Full Potential\u00a0<\/strong>\r\nBaptiste Bourquardez, Coll\u00e8ge Bor\u00e9al, and Elise Cotter, Coll\u00e8ge Bor\u00e9al<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong><span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<h4>11.

Documenting the Lived Experience of Resettled Syrian Refugees: Research Insights and Lessons Learned<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Keith Neuman, Environics Institute\r\n\r\nThe wave of Syrian refugees accepted by Canada in 2015-16 was unprecedented in both scope and timing, and presented significant challenges for government agencies, the settlement community and the refugees themselves. What was the experience like for these individuals and families upon arrival and as they established new lives in Canada? What lessons might this experience have for future refugee settlement? These questions were addressed through a major research project by the Environics Institute, based on in-depth interviews with over 300 refugees across the country. The workshop will review key findings from the research and consider what insights it offers in terms of the refugee experience, resettlement policy and programs\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Keith Neuman, Environics Institute for Survey Research\u00a0<span><strong>(Download Presentation)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Chris Friesen, ISSofBC<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Nabiha Atallah, Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Leah Hamilton, Mount Royal University<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>3.

S.U.C.C.E.S.S. has identified community and housing partners to develop and deliver an innovative pilot program, Operation Welcome Home which is a transitionary housing program aimed at providing wrap-around settlement and employment services along with housing to those in need of emergency housing and support due to unexpected upheaval.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Canada\u2019s Response to Displacement <span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nQueenie Choo, S.U.C.C.E.S.S., and Corinne Prince, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Operation Welcome Home: An Innovative Collaboration to Address the Housing Needs of Displaced New Arrivals <span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nQueen Choo, S.U.C.C.E.S.S., and Ryan Drew, S.U.C.C.E.S.S.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>5. The Intersection of International Students and Institutions: Transitions, Institutional Strategies, and Student Experiences<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Ann Kim, York University\r\n\r\nThe challenges in the international education sector lie at the intersection of international students and institutions. By virtue of their status as temporary residents, international students contend with immigration policy and practices, educational institutions\u2019 priorities and branding and recruitment strategies, and on- and off-campus environments and communities. This session brings together dynamic research on international students at multi-levels to examine immigration policy, internationalization strategies, institutional resources, and local communities. Through studying intersections and student pathways and experiences, we learn about the institutions themselves and areas in need of attention and change.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>From Student to Immigrant?

Strengthening Community Capacity in Rural Communities<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Soheila Homayed, Rural Development Network\r\n\r\nMore immigrants are choosing to settle in rural communities across Canada. However, these communities often face struggles in meeting the settlement and integration needs of newcomers for several reasons, including limited capacity of rural service providers, lack of financial resources, barriers to access training, and limited knowledge of the settlement of rural newcomers. This presentation will focus on a pilot project delivered by the Rural Development Network and ASSIST, aimed at building the capacity of rural service providers in Alberta to support the attraction, retention and settlement of newcomers in rural communities. This presentation will highlight the importance of capacity building, address the relationship between urban-rural settlement, and will offer key insights into our findings from the project.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Strengthening Community Capacity to Support Newcomers<\/strong>\r\nSoheila Homayed, Rural Development Network<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Rural Employers\u2019 Awareness on Diversity and Inclusion (READI) Project<\/strong>\r\nAshija Joshi, ASSIST Community Services Centre<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>The Urban-Rural Settlement Divide<\/strong>\r\nFion Lee, ASSIST Community Services Centre<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong><span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<h4>10.

Using Social Enterprise Revenue to Supplement Funding Gaps<\/h4>\r\n\r\nChair: Jillian McDonald, Immigrant Services Calgary (ISC)\r\n\r\nImmigrant Services Calgary (ISC) has been striving to diversify its sources of revenue to enhance sustainability. To achieve this goal, ISC transformed a current program into a social enterprise and expanded its offerings to value-added marketable services for the community. ISC was able to re-direct resources to where they were needed the most during the pandemic. This workshop will (1) explore how social enterprise can raise unrestricted funds to support and\/or scale services of high-priority programs, (2) discuss opportunities and challenges when initiating fee for service in the non-profit environment, and (3) discuss the use of impact investing to scale up.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Jillian McDonald, Immigrant Services Calgary (ISC)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Kayla MacKenzie, Immigrant Services Calgary (ISC)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong><span>(Download Presentation)<\/span><\/strong>\r\n<h3><span>Tuesday, November 15, 2022<\/span>\r\n<span> 1:45PM \u2013 3:00 PM EST<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<h4>1.

The harsh experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic combined with global movements for racial justice have awakened our understanding of the gaps that always existed but never questioned the way they are today. While there is an increased awareness among organizations to embrace diversity, there is a lack of sight on how to achieve mindful inclusion. This panel discussion will offer an opportunity to reflect on challenges organizations face in accomplishing systemic changes.
