Immigrant Advisory Council

NSIIP’s work is supported by an Immigrant Advisory Council (IAC). The IAC provides feedback on NSIIP’s work, shares and promotes promising practices and research, serves as a resource for community service providers, and liaises with ethno-specific communities to share information and encourage community participation. The IAC also played a formative role in conceptualizing NSIIP Strategic Plan 2023-2028.

The IAC is comprised of 12+ immigrants who live and/or work on the North Shore. Members are selected for two-year terms and represent a range of countries of origin, length of time in Canada, occupational backgrounds, age and gender. They also have experience, knowledge, abilities, or skills related to immigrant integration and are non-partisan.
