The Greater Moncton Local Immigration Partnership (GMLIP) |
What We Do |
|
Greater Moncton Local Immigration Partnership consists of immigration stakeholders, immigrants, the business community, and municipal government partners. The LIP will help implement the Greater Moncton Immigration Strategy and will provide a better framework to understand the needs of newcomers, the gaps in service delivery and the process by which collaboration can lead to much better outcomes for newcomers. |
As part of an initiative of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Greater Moncton Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) encourages newcomer-serving community organisations across Dieppe, Moncton, and Riverview, to implement extensive and comprehensive action plans for the development, modification, and implementation of services for newcomers, to ease their transition into the workforce and social integration into the Greater Moncton Area. |

Up to 20 organizations working together to grow:

Resource Library
The Greater Moncton Local Immigration Partnership is pleased to present our resource library containing a diverse collection of documents to help newcomers and immigrants find various services offered in our community; to help community members understand the documents (including research) that drive our actions as a LIP; and a homebase for our LIP member organisations to connect with other organisations within the partnership
Vision | Mission |
| Our vision is to make the integration and retention of new immigrants a key priority in support of Greater Moncton’s vision of being a growing, prosperous and inclusive community.
