The London and Middlesex Local Immigration Partnership - LMLIP

The London and Middlesex Local Immigration Partnership (LMLIP) is a collaborative community initiative which is designed to strengthen the role of local and regional communities in serving and integrating immigrants. The concept for Local Immigration Partnerships, which are being developed in many communities in Ontario, was developed as a joint initiative of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration Canada and was further refined in consultation with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the City of Toronto. The LMLIP is solely funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).

The purpose of the LMLIP is to strengthen the role of local and regional communities in serving and integration of immigrants through a Local Immigration Partnership. The project will provide a collaborative framework for, and facilitate the development and implementation of, sustainable local and regional solutions for successful integration of immigrants to Ontario.

The goals of the LMLIP is to develop a Capacity and Needs Inventory (Rapport sur la capacité et les besoins communautaires) that will provide the strategic framework for our community to enhance its capacity to bridge all areas of need within the community for immigrants and to establish the London and Middlesex Immigrant Partnership Council that will develop a collaborative Community Immigrant Strategic Plan - revised (Plan Stratégique communautaire pour l'Immigration) for London and Middlesex.

A directory of services and maps, created by the Welcoming Communities Initiative are a snap shot of our community.

The scope of this project will be inclusive of all immigrants regardless of their status, age and gender.

The work of the LMLIP Council (Revised Terms of Reference in English; Les termes du Mandat) will be guided by a Central Council and six sub-councils representing: education, employment, health and well being, inclusion and civic engagement, justice and protection services and settlement. Two community consultations have been held: the Community Strategy Meeting (Consultation communautaire) and the Community Action Planning Day (Journée de planification d’action communautaire).
