Local solution needed to integrate immigrants, writes = Anne=20 Howland

By Anne Howland, = Ottawa=20 Sun

It's amazing how little real progress we've made on integrating = skilled=20 immigrants into our workforce.

For years, we've recognized that people who come to live in = Canada from=20 other countries often bring with them a wealth of credentials and=20 experience. Yet so often, as the stereotype goes, they end up = driving cabs=20 or working at the corner store (not that there's anything wrong = with=20 that). But when you think about how much they could be adding to = our=20 economy, especially in light of doctor shortages and a continuing = need for=20 hi-tech expertise -- of particular concern to Ottawa -- it's hard = not to=20 argue such jobs are a waste of the immigrants' abilities.

Forty-odd years ago, my mother came from the U.S. to live in = Ontario=20 with her new husband. Despite having a high-level degree from an = Ivy=20 League school, she was unable to work in her field.

Forty-odd years later, despite all the surveys, committees and = good=20 intentions, the situation seems little changed.

Janet Whillans of The Internationally Trained Workers Project = says=20 progress has been stalled by the process of receiving and = integrating=20 immigrants into our country which involves so many levels of = government.=20 While immigrants might start out dealing with the feds, they = encounter=20 provincial legislation if they approach a professional = association, and=20 will end up working with municipal programs and services once they = move=20 into their new community.

Today, the TalentWorks program of the Ottawa Centre for = Research and=20 Innovation and the Internationally Trained Workers Project release = the=20 report findings from Ottawa @ Work: Large Employer Workforce Needs = Analysis.

Interviews for the report were conducted with 27 of Ottawa's = largest=20 organizations, which employ about 34% of the workforce. It = investigates=20 the perspectives of employers regarding skill and labour = shortages, as=20 well as the role immigrants will play in the future.

LACK OF RECOGNITION

It stresses the finding of a 2004 report that showed Ottawa's = new=20 workforce growth would be supplied by internationally trained = immigrants=20 by 2011.

It reiterates that integrating immigrants into the workforce = remains a=20 priority for Ottawa business and public sector leaders. Barriers, = such as=20 the lack of recognition of academic credentials, prior work = experience,=20 language issues, workplace acculturation and the requirement for = security=20 clearance and citizenship status continue to halt the transition = from=20 immigration to employment, the report says.

"To date, our research and consultation has shown there is no = one=20 single, overarching barrier that all internationally trained = workers face,=20 but rather a complex and broad range of barriers," says Whillans. =

A recent $4 million grant from the Ontario Minister of = Citizenship and=20 Immigration should help agencies like Whillans', as will her=20 organization's efforts to assist companies, large and small, in = hiring=20 immigrants and helping them adjust.

With a lack of government co-ordination, we need local = solutions. The=20 impact on our economy and quality of life will be serious if a = community=20 approach is not taken.
