IMMIGRATION

Practical Workshops
and Field Meetings

The CCFI is continuing to organize monthly

field meetings again this year. Workers and
stakeholders throughout the service sector for
Francophone immigrants are attending workshop
conferences. The last three meetings dealt with
mental health, the recognition of diplomas,

and taxation.

Call For Tenders: Immigrant Adaptation and Settlement Services

Over the last few months, the FFCB has stepped up its efforts to ensure operation of the CCFI over the coming years. The
immigration team (CCFI and FFCB) developed a new service delivery model for Francophone immigrants that it presented
under a call for tenders by the province. The model was presented to the Implementation Committee on February 16, 2011

and adopted a few weeks later by the CCFI consortium.

Based on that model, CCFI negotiated Francophone collaboration with its partners. If the new service delivery model is
accepted by the Province, activities will begin in October 2011. In the meantime, the Province has chosen to extend

the CCFI’s mandate until December 2011.
