1. Immigration, Settlement & Integration Dixie Bloor sees the adjustment of immigrants into a new

community as a process, during which immigrants need a continuum of services, in varying degrees according to their own backgrounds and experiences

Settlement /Integration Continuum

Settlement

Acclimatization Adaptation Integration

Settlement refers to acclimatization, early stages of adaptation : Finding accommodation, opening bank account, driving license Learning about the new neighborhood Learning a new language Getting a job – initially odd /survival job, then dream job Starting a business and creating jobs


Defining Integration

“A gradual process by which new residents become active participants in the economic, social, civic/political, cultural and spiritual affairs of a new homeland. It is a dynamic process in which values are enriched through mutual acquaintance, accommodation and understanding”

It is a process in which both the migrants and their compatriots find an opportunity to make their own distinctive contributions”

(cited in Kage, 1962:165, from Best Settlement Practices 1998:6) Peel Portraits 2001: A snapshot (Of only those who arrived in

Peel between 1991 and 2001) www.portraitsofpeel.ca Average Employment Income: $ 25,892 Labour Force Participation Rate: 133,925 71.0% Unemployment Rate: 8,170 9.0%


Job Markets today…… Even with four months of declines, Canada's economy has

added 345,000 new jobs so far this year, an increase compared to 2005

Employment was up by 62,000 jobs in Dec, 49,000 being self-employed. The unemployment rate down to 6.1 percent. Unemployment rate for adult women set a record low, dropping to 4.9%, lower than adult men of 5.3%.

Factories have fired total 130,000 workers this year in Ontario. Ontario added 113,000 jobs this year. Full-time work went up in Canada but in Ontario, PT work increased. Gains in several industries including education, construction, business, building and other support services as well as public administration. Employment gains in service sector, health care, social assistance, finance, insurance, real estate made up for the losses sustained in the manufacturing industry


2. Key Labour Market Trends2. Key Labour Market Trends

Longitudinal Study from Statistics Canada: only 4 out of 10 newcomers are working in their occupation fields

Statistics Canada: 58% working age immigrants had post-secondary degrees at landing compared to 43% of Canadian population

Immigrants with university degrees earn 40% less than Canadian born

Lack of credential recognition, Prior Learning Assessment, local experience, language proficiency and “bridging” training opportunities are key hurdles

Immigration will account for 100% of net growth in the province’s labour force by 2011; skills shortages in trades, technical, skilled and professional occupations


Immigrants will be a key to labour force growth

Skills Wastage & Economic Loss

The Conference Board of Canada estimates that 540,000 Canadians would earn an additional $4.1 billion to $5.9 billion annually if their learning, experience and credentials could be rewarded and recognized in the workplace. It maintains that the single largest reason for “unrecognized learning” is unrecognized foreign credentials.

Jeffrey Reitz of the University of Toronto estimates that the under-utilization of immigrants’ skills and education represents $15 billion a year of foregone earnings to immigrants.

“We did not all come over on the same plane, but we are all in the same boat”


3. Economic and Social Integration CIC’s Official Definition “ CIC’s integration strategy aims to enable newcomers to settle, adapt

and integrate as quickly and comfortably as possible so that they may become contributing members of Canadian society. It is a two-way process that encourages adjustments on the part of both newcomers and the receiving society. Canada responds to the needs of newcomers through a variety of settlement programs, services and integration promotion activities throughout the integration process”

(Citizenship and Immigration Canada, 2002 from www.cic.gc.ca/english/pub/dpr2002/cic02dpr06)

“ Economic Integration is the process during which immigrants and the host community (are assisted to) go through various stages including orientation, skill enhancement, social networking and participation; and eventually become financially self-reliant and contributive members of the Canadian economy”

It is a priority for new immigrants and automatically ensures and foster social, cultural and political integration

Self-Employment Benefits (SEB) Program at Job Skills

From artists to wine-makers, personal shoppers to custom woodworkers, e-business to high-tech hardware support, entrepreneurs have received a helping hand from Job Skills to get their new businesses off the ground

Several years ago, Job Skills looked at offering self-employment programs and services as a way to assist clients who wanted to use their entrepreneurial skills to create their own employment. Today, the Agency offers a range of business development programs and services to hundreds of entrepreneurs a year. Eligibility/Suitability: individuals must be currently unemployed, legally entitled to work in Canada, have established an EI claim

SEB provides mentoring and coaching as well as workshops for those eligible participants who need support to turn a business idea into a profitable venture.


Qualities of an ideal coach/mentor

Experience, preferably as an entrepreneur, and certainly in dealing with entrepreneurs

A strong personality who would challenge me

A clear communicator. I wanted to know exactly what the coach was going to do for me, how the relationship would work, what was involved and, of course, what it would cost

A good listener

A strong recommendation from at least one existing client who I respected

Someone I could trust. In order to be effective, I would have to be candid with my coach about my life and business. What's said in the room must stay in the room

Quotes………

It’s your potential-use it or loose it All glory comes from daring to begin Talent is nothing without opportunity Managing only for profits is like playing tennis with

your eye on the scoreboard rather than on the ball Success and greatness knows no social or economic

class or geographic boundaries – it can flourish anywhere, it is within your grasp!

The journey is as important as the destination – along with income, status, possessions, place of residence, profits, market share…..also focus on honesty, integrity, family, kindness, balance, courage and ethics
