AMSSA Media Event: Immigration for BC’s Future
AMSSA, with the Immigrant Integration Coordinating Committee (IICC), undertook a Provincial Engagement Strategy project with the objective to:
- Identify key gaps in services and/or policies between what is currently being supported by the federal government of Canada and the provincial government of BC, with the actual needs of newcomers to BC.
- Identify what strategies have been successful in providing support to newcomers in BC.
- Use the gaps and best practices identified to formulate specific recommendations on how the provincial government of BC can enhance co-managing and co-planning of immigration with the federal government, the municipalities and the settlement sector.
We are hosting a media event to launch the report titled Immigration for BC’s Future: A Call for Action to Strengthen Newcomer Integration.
We hope you can join us!
