Program helps would-be immigrant skilled workers navigate the Canadian job market before they leave their home countries

The Canadian Immigrant Integration Project in Asia, a $4.5 million, three-year pilot program allows would-be newcomers to Canada in the skilled-worker class to go through a “pre-arrival orientation” in Manila, Delhi and Hong Kong â€“ and, starting this month, in Beijing, Gujarat and Punjab.

The goal is to help (foreign-trained professionals) acquire appropriate employment by connecting with them and preparing them ahead of time, so they can “hit the ground running” once they arrive. A thousand skilled immigrants have voluntarily participated since January 1 to learn about Canadian labour market trends, skills in demand in various regions, licensing procedures, and how to link with career bridging programs.

Immigrants meet with counsellors at the overseas offices to create a settlement plan while they’re still waiting for medical and security clearance to immigrate, instead of spending time and money finding out about the “how-tos” after they have landed in Canada.
The program, dubbed CIIP (ciip.accc.ca), includes a day-long group workshop in the home country, divided by profession or province of destination, followed by one-on-one counselling.
