Referrals - Commitment 3
The Commitment:
At least once before September 30, 2022, provide Settlement Services in the Bow Valley with a point-in-time staffing profile for your organization. The profile should include the following information:
number of foreign workers,
number of Permanent Residents of Canada,
most common countries of origin for team members who are foreign workers or Permanent Residents of Canada.
This information will also be shared with Foreign Worker Support Services. Aggregate data (combined information from all participating employers) will be shared with the Bow Valley Immigration Partnership (BVIP) for use in the 2023 Bow Valley Integration Assessment.
Why This Commitment?
Two reasons:
This information gives immigrant-serving agencies a clearer picture of how they can support your businesses’ inclusion goals. When you send your staffing profile, Settlement Services in the Bow Valley will follow up to offer tailored support to your team.
This information helps all BVIP partners support the changing integration needs of our community. Since employment is a key driver of immigration in the Bow Valley and census data is a lagging indicator of trends, completing this commitment helps us quickly identify and respond strategically to settlement needs, such as demand for new classes or services.
How To Complete This Commitment (Evaluation Plan)
We’ll ask Settlement Services in the Bow Valley for a list of organizations who submitted a staffing profile prior to September 30, 2022. If your organization is on the list, it will receive credit for this commitment.
