3 AIPP The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Project (AIPP) is an employer-driven immigration initiative designed to recruit and retain global skill, diversify population growth and address labour shortages across the Maritimes. Under the AIPP, employers are encouraged to connect new employees and their families with local settlement services, and language and job training opportunities, in order to promote their long-term retention and success in the Atlantic Provinces. Employers are also encouraged to foster cultural competency in the workplace. The YMCA of Greater Saint John has been serving newcomers for 25 years, through the Y Newcomer Connections Department. We house the largest settlement team in the region, with more than 40 staff from around the globe. We are authorized and ready to help employers navigate the new AIPP system and continue to grow our local population. For more information, contact: Jazmine Belyea Client Intake Liaison P: E: aipp@saintjohny.com saintjohny.com/newcomerconnections AIPP Employer Guide 3
4 Growth STEPS FOR HIRING How to hire an individual under the AIPP: 1. The employer completes and sends an Expression of Interest Form to the Province of NB; 2. The employer establishes a relationship with a settlement service provider (like the YMCA) and applies to the Province for designation by completing the Employer Designation Application Form; 3. The employer becomes designated by the Province; 4. The employer identifies an international job candidate (living abroad or already in Canada) and makes them a job offer; 5. The candidate and his/her family complete a needs assessment with a designated settlement service provider; 6. The employer submits a copy of the candidate s completed needs assessment, along with an endorsement application, to the Province; 7. The Province endorses the candidate; 8. The employer works with the local settlement service provider to settle the newcomer and his/her family into the community. 4 AIPP Employer Guide Y Newcomer Connections
5 Job Candidates Residing in Canada can contact the Y Newcomer Connections department directly to obtain the required needs assessment (free of charge). Candidates must then provide a copy of the assessment to their prospective employer. Job Candidates Residing Overseas must first contact 1 of 5 designated pre-arrival service providers for their needs assessment: YMCA of Greater Toronto - Next Stop Canada S.U.C.C.E.S.S - Active Engagement and Integration Program Fédération Acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse www. Settlement Online Pre-Arrival (SOPA) Planning for Canada saintjohny.com/newcomerconnections AIPP Employer Guide 5
6 Diversity LIAISING WITH THE PROVINCE The YMCA of Greater Saint John has long-standing relationships with both the federal and provincial governments in the area of newcomer services. We receive weekly updates from the Province about the AIPP and work to expedite the needs assessment and endorsement processes. We also aim to keep employers informed of any updates or changes under the AIPP program, and to keep communication clear, open and hassle-free. Our ultimate goal is to build community and we commit to working with both the employer and the candidate leading up to and after the newcomer s arrival. Once your new employee has arrived, we have a designated member of our Settlement Team ready to help them get settled. 6 AIPP Employer Guide Y Newcomer Connections
7 ARRIVAL AND LOGISTICAL SUPPORT Under the AIPP, employers are responsible for the safe transport, arrival and reception of employees and their families once they land in Canada. Our team helps welcome over 1000 newcomers every year, and can share best practices with employers, including: Workplace preparation seminars Pre-arrival check-lists and toolkits Welcome handbooks Access to community guides Access to interpretation and translation services COACHING SUPPORT Feeling unsure? The Y has a wealth of experience serving newcomers under a variety of immigration streams and we have developed a number of best practices and tools proven to help foster welcoming communities and workplaces. We can provide knowledge-based resources, consulting services, and coaching support designed to help employers become champions of growth, diversity and inclusion. saintjohny.com/newcomerconnections AIPP Employer Guide 7
8 Connections LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS AND SUPPORT Strong language skills are critical to the successful integration and retention of newcomers across the community, and especially in the workforce. The federal government assesses English-language proficiency using the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) system. Under the AIPP, a prospective employee must have an English score of CLB 5, or equivalent. Should a prospective employee have a score of CLB 4, the employer must guarantee that the employee will be allowed to attend a minimum of 300 hours of language instruction, until the employee reaches a CLB 5 level. Family members of a prospective employee do not need to speak any English to be admitted under the AIPP. 8 AIPP Employer Guide Y Newcomer Connections
9 At Y Newcomer Connections, we offer a number of language supports, including: The coordination of CLB Placement Tests Classroom-based English-language instruction, according to the CLB curriculum Our in-house English school delivers the federal Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) program. We have over 20 qualified teaching staff dedicated to delivering the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) curriculum. This program is free for permanent residents who are 18 years of age or older. Sector-specific, pre-employment training (module-based) We periodically offer 10-week modules designed to equip newcomers with the language and workplace skills they ll need to work in specific sectors, such as: childcare, hospitality and tourism, and facilities maintenance. The module includes a volunteer work placement, and newcomers have a high success rate obtaining employment after having participated in the training. This program is delivered on the UNB Saint John campus and is ideal for unemployed spouses or other family members also wanting to join the workforce. Weekly opportunities for conversation and socialization One-on-one tutoring Mom & Baby classes Volunteer opportunities Computer lab access The Y gave me the ability to speak English properly and the confidence that I can do something here. - Sam Suh saintjohny.com/newcomerconnections AIPP Employer Guide 9
10 Innovation CULTURAL COMPETENCY TRAINING It s no secret that Canada s labour market is becoming increasingly diverse. Employers must invest in the training and tools that will enable them to work more effectively across cultures, and to fuel innovation, performance and drive. This is known as cultural competency. Cultural competency is the ability to work and relate effectively across various cultural situations. It is a key building block in forming a positive, productive and dynamic cross-cultural work environment. Cultural differences may manifest themselves in communication style, situational interpretation, or workplace conduct just to name a few and cultural competency is a vital skill for employers and employees to create highly functioning teams. The Y Newcomer Connections department provides cultural competency training to a cross-section of private and public stakeholders in the community. Our staff are trained to deliver the Provincial curriculum, as mandated by the New Brunswick Multicultural Council. We are committed to delivering a high-quality and industry-leading training by utilizing best practices from internationally recognized programs. We offer tailor-made, sector specific programs for large and small groups. Jeremy McNally Cultural Competency Trainer P: E: j.mcnally@saintjohny.com 10 AIPP Employer Guide Y Newcomer Connections
11 FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMMING It is critical that a newcomer establish an early and meaningful connection to the community in which they live and work. Supports and programs offered to newcomers at the Y include: Life skills training Information and orientation sessions Canada School settlement training program Connections to ethno-cultural communities School preparedness In-school supports Tutoring and homework clubs Connections to the greater YMCA community Matt Martin Settlement Counsellor P: E: m.martin@saintjohny.com saintjohny.com/newcomerconnections AIPP Employer Guide 11
