The long‑term vision for LIPs is to support the development of multi‑sectoral partnerships at the local community level in order to integrate newcomer needs into the community planning process, identify community‑specific strategic priorities and implement a settlement strategy and action plans to improve newcomer outcomes.

The Greater Moncton Local Immigration Partnership consists of a council of immigration stakeholders, immigrants, 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.

The LIP initiative began operations in Ontario in 2008 as part of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s Community Connections program. The program expanded to other provinces in 2012 and is expected to continue to grow. Currently, there are more than 60 LIPs across Canada, including five in Atlantic Canada.

The working groups meet once a month, in addition to the bi‑monthly session for the overall GMLIP.
