The Toronto East Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) project is a network of community agencies working to coordinate services to newcomers in the Toronto East neighbourhood. This project is administered through WoodGreen Community Services and funded through Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).
Documents for the fifth Partnership Council meeting include the April 2010 minutes, the meeting agenda, powerpoint presentation and a Service Provider Survey. The survey will help identify service capacity and service gaps. The focus of discussion for this meeting was defining 'coordination of services' between agencies. The Council discussed the various levels of coordination from 'awareness' of each other's programs to 'collaboration' of programs.
Toronto East LIP staff developed a flowchart illustrating the immigration pathway for Economic Class newcomers as well as the immigration pathway for Refugee claimants. These pathways illustrate the general process for newcomers - all situations are unique and may require other supports.
