The Canadian Immigrant Integration Program (CIIP)

CIIP is managed by the ACCC, which was recognized last month for its success with the Institute of Public Administration of Canada/Deloitte 2013 Public Sector Leadership Award.

The Canadian Immigrant Integration Program (CIIP) assists newcomers in 25 countries through offices located in the Philippines, China, India, and the United Kingdom.

Denise Amyot, President & CEO of the Association of Canadian Community Colleges and Chair of the World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics is quoted "“CIIP continues to make a significant contribution towards the success of newcomers through the provision of pre-departure information and planning services that help immigrants prepare before they arrive in Canada.

We're proud that CIIP has been recognized for its efforts and contributions to Canadian society and ACCC hopes to be able to deliver this valuable program for years to come.”

A recent survey found:

72% of CIIP graduates who responded to the survey were employed within 12 months of arriving in Canada.

93% of the respondents achieved credential assessment within six months of applying.

69% of the respondents found employment in their field (2013).
