Immigrant Integration Coordinating Committee (IICC)

International migration is now the largest single contributor to population growth in British Columbia. Immigration is also the leading component of labour force growth in this province. New immigrants seeking employment have become the largest source of new entrants into the labour market in most recent years.

The impact of these changes upon community and government services is significant. Managing change effectively requires a pro-active approach to problem solving.

AMSSA's Immigrant Integration Coordinating Committee (IICC) provides an opportunity for agencies and associations working with newcomers to address these challenges, find reasonable solutions, and share resources.

The IICC is committed to improving immigrant integration services, developing client-centred policy, facilitating effective consultation, advocating for necessary change, conducting meaningful research related to the needs of the sector, and developing professional standards in service delivery.
