CIIP helps newcomers gain employment that reflects their skills, credentials and experience, so that they can contribute their full potential as quickly as possible to the Canadian economy and society.

CIIP enables immigrants to prepare effectively overseas to meet credential, language and skill requirements to achieve economic integration in Canada. Through participating in CIIP pre-departure orientation and planning sessions, skilled immigrants to Canada should:

have a more realistic understanding of the opportunities and challenges they may face;
make better informed decisions about the choices available to them; and
be better equipped to secure appropriate employment.

CIIP also offers an overseas platform to support collaboration among Canadian organizations involved in newcomer integration by facilitating their outreach to clients overseas.
