Enhanced language training agreement helps internationally trained newcomers in Ontario
New Training Projects Help Newcomers Continue Their Careers
QUEEN'S PARK, ON, Jan. 20 /CNW/ - The Honourable Joe Volpe, Minister of
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), and the Honourable Mary Anne
Chambers, Ontario's Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, today
announced a joint initiative to strengthen higher level and job-specific
language training for internationally trained newcomers in the province.
The Ontario government and CIC are jointly investing $3.4 million over
two years to support 13 projects under the Enhanced Language Training
Initiative. The projects will deliver job-specific language training to more
than 1,300 internationally trained individuals to help them make the
transition to Ontario's workforce.
"One of the keys to our continued prosperity and competitiveness will be
the degree to which foreign-trained professionals and skilled workers are able
to successfully integrate into society and our workforce," said Minister
Volpe. "The Government of Canada invests $20 million annually in its Enhanced
Language Training Initiative and I am pleased to work with Ontario so that
more immigrants can pursue professions and trades that make full use of the
talents and skills they bring to Canada."
"Our government recognizes the important contribution newcomers make to
ensuring a strong and prosperous economy for all Ontarians," Chambers said.
"By providing the internationally trained with higher level language training,
we are helping them to be successful in their efforts to obtain employment in
the occupations for which they have been trained. It is important to all
Ontarians that these skills not go to waste."
More than 70 per cent of adult immigrants who come to Ontario are highly
skilled with postsecondary education or training. While the provincial and
federal governments have a long history of providing basic English and French
as second language programs, the issue for internationally trained individuals
has been the requirement for higher level language skills that are specific to
each occupation.
"The funding will allow us to develop and deliver higher level language
training that will help newcomers carry out successful job searches and work
effectively in our workplaces," said Phyllis Sereda, Executive Director of the
Peel Adult Learning Centre in Mississauga.
This investment is part of the Ontario government's plan to improve
access for the internationally trained to their chosen professions and trades.
Ontario is providing $12.5 million annually to meet this commitment.
"Our goal in negotiating a Canada - Ontario Immigration Agreement is to
help newcomers integrate successfully into the economy and the community,"
said Dr. Marie Bountrogianni, Ontario Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
"Higher level language training for newcomers is an essential part of helping
them bridge the gap to become employed in jobs for which they are trained and
qualified."

HIGHER LEVEL ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE TRAINING
FOR THE INTERNATIONALLY TRAINED
Each year, thousands of immigrants choose Ontario as their new home. More
than 70 per cent of adult newcomers who come to Ontario are highly skilled
with postsecondary education or training.
While the provincial and federal governments have a long history of
providing basic English and French as second language programs, the issue for
internationally trained individuals has been the requirement for higher level
language skills that are specific to each occupation.
Both governments are moving forward to leverage the huge potential that
arrives on Ontario's doorstep by investing $3.4 million over two years to
support 13 projects that will provide higher level and job-specific language
training to more than 1,300 internationally trained individuals. The projects
are part of the provincial government's agreement with the federal government
to cost-share 50-50 the Enhanced Language Training Initiative of Citizenship
and Immigration Canada.
