Integration Programs

Maytree invests in piloting, capturing and disseminating successful local integration practices that facilitate the settlement of immigrants and refugees.

Assisting Local Leaders with Immigrant Employment Solutions (ALLIES)

ALLIES provides funding, technical expertise and networks to Canadian cities so that they can successfully adapt and implement local ideas for skilled immigrants to find suitable employment. Delivered in partnership with the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation.

Cities of Migration

Cities of Migration promotes excellence and innovation in integration practices by identifying successful local examples from cities around the world and connecting the people behind them. With support from Bertelsmann Stiftung, The Cadbury Barrow Trust and The Tindall Foundation, Maytree is taking the lead on establishing this first-ever network of international expertise grounded in local knowledge.

Extending Municipal Voting Rights

In partnership with Thorncliffe Neighbourhood Office this Toronto pilot project aims to accelerate successful settlement by extending municipal voting rights to non-citizen residents. The experience of other leading urban centres around the world shows us that this move allows newcomers to contribute to community life faster and achieve the skills of becoming a citizen sooner.
