In its efforts to show gratitude to all the immigrants in Canada, an immigration partnership has been announced. This would be aimed at improving the level of services for the immigrants and help them be a better part of the society. This partnership is in collaboration between the MP of Kitchener Centre – Stephen Woodworth and the Regional Chair for the Region of Waterloo – Ken Seiling.
The Government of Canada would be providing funds of around $175,779 to the Region of Waterloo. A council would be set up which would be looking into the various aspects of developing strategies for initiatives to be taken to guide the new immigrants. The council members would include the members from the local municipality, people from the school board, social service agencies and so on. According to the reports, more than 26,081 have immigrated to Waterloo.
This partnership is an effort to improve the quality and access of services offered to the new members of Waterloo. This in turn would be beneficial to all the citizens of Ontario as well.
As a result, the Canada – Ontario Immigration Agreement which is a partnership between the Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration would cater to a funding of $3 million to the local municipalities and the service providing agencies in Ontario.
This clearly proves that the Canadian government is very particular with the quality of settlements being offered to its immigrants. There has been a constant rise in the amount of funding being offered for the immigrant settlement programs. Those provinces which are outside Quebec would receive an additional amount of $1.4 billion.
It has to be noted that Quebec offers it own settlement services which are different from the rest of the federal Canada. These are offered via the Canada – Quebec Accord.
With such wide range of programs being offered to the immigrants, it would be a wise decision to immigrate to Canada at this point of time. This is because immigrants are considered an asset and welcomed with open arms. Thus, if you intend to immigrate, contact an immigration and visa veteran to know more about the same.
