The Canadian Immigrant Integration Program (CIIP) gathered many of its partners involved in offering pre-arrival services to new immigrants on September 26-27 in Ottawa. The successful meeting was attended by then-minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, John McCallum, who offered a resounding endorsement of CIIP’s pre-arrival services.
In February, the CIIP also organized its first-ever event for Ontario alumni, hosted by program partners George Brown College and COSTI Immigrant Services. Over 50 alumni and 20 partner representatives were in attendance, resulting in a high-energy day full of connections and a shared sense of purpose.
