• What measures would re-balance CIC’s policy and program efforts away from shorter-term settlement needs to foster longer-term, societal integration and address challenges such as cultural and religious diversity?

• How can federal, provincial and municipal governments effectively coordinate their settlement services and engage employers and stakeholders, including the sector, in settlement and integration?

• Citizenship and multiculturalism are critical to national - building: how can we best leverage them?

• How can we make the most coherent, adaptable strategic investments in outcomes – for immigrants and for more established Canadians alike – to remove barriers to social inclusion?

• How do we ensure that the processes and procedures we put in place for the management of our grants and contributions to maximise positive outcomes for newcomers?

“You cannot manage what you cannot measure”.

Performance Measurement: A Fundamental Building Block

• A Government of Canada priority• What is it? How is it used?

- Ongoing systematic collection, monitoring and reporting on a specific policy or program

- Quality indicators and the use of those indicators are important to departmental management, and policy & program development

- Guides decision making and supports evaluation- Fosters transparency and accountability.

• The department must demonstrate and report on:– The relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of

settlement programs– An accountability framework including data

capture to support program indicators and demonstrate management and accountability

– Services rendered: current capacity of the sector to deliver settlement programs and profile client uptake.

• Previous data collected did not enable adequate reporting on the outputs, outcomes and achievements of settlement programs.

• The revamped Immigration Contribution Agreement Reporting Environment (iCARE) contains:– New labelling systems and additional data elements reflect the

modernized approach to settlement– Adjustments support evaluation and necessary modifications of

outcomes, efficiency and effectiveness of programs– More robust data capture will support program indicators and

demonstrate strong management and accountability– Streamlining of data capture sources will help identify gaps– Data will feed into program, policy and departmental accountability.

• Strong performance measurement is beneficial to all stakeholders and Service Providing Organizations (SPOs).– Better situated to tell the story right– Early identification of gaps which allow for collective

corrective response.

• The new iCARE will be: – More efficient– More informative– Less burden– Provide better reports.

A visual representation of the interaction between elements of the June 2008 ARAF that relate to performance measurement of the CIC Settlement Program.

Performance Measurement On-going collection of information on program performance (outputs & outcomes) to guide decision-making and enable reporting on program results

Settlement Program• Logic Model with expected Outcomes• Terms and conditions• Funding

Settlement Services Based on priorities for services and programming and directives to manage contribution agreements (left side of the logic model)

Outputs

Immediate Outcomes

Intermediate Outcomes

Ultimate Outcomes

MonitoringFinancial & operational activities exercised by settlement officers over contribution agreements and SPOs.

AuditTo determine whether the Department’s strategy and practices

related to risk management, control, and governance processes are adequate.

EvaluationSystematic collection and analysis of the performance of a program to

make judgements about relevance, progress or success and cost-effectiveness to inform future programming decisions about design

and implementation.

1. Fact Sheets (outputs): To complete the analysis of the Settlement Program data, Fact Sheets will include: • Scope of the analysis• Analysis of data available

– Intake, programming, studies, costs, etc.– Graphs to show trends and variations

• Are the results consistent with what is expected?– Why/Why not?, Any variations, per PT, per level of education, demographic, gender, other?

• Do we need to change programming to achieve something different or to build on good practices?

2. Annual Project Performance Report (immediate outcomes)• Starting in November, the Report will be implemented across the

Settlement Program (with opportunities for refinements in the future)• The objectives of the Report are threefold:

– improve information collected about project results;– make better use of the information collected; and– strengthen the evidence base for on-going performance measurement, policy

decisions, and program development and evaluations• Results are expected in spring 2012

3. Settlement Program Client Survey (intermediate outcomes)• The client survey is a pilot project for measuring outcomes of CIC’s

Settlement Program and reporting key findings• Results are expected in spring 2012

• With all these measures and your support, we will be able to demonstrate the impact of our actions.

• Together, we all make a difference in the settlement and integration of newcomers.

• As per the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments, CIC is responsible for ensuring that: – Oversight and internal controls are cost effective and support the

management of transfer payments.

– Administrative requirements on recipients and staff are proportionate with identified need according to risk level.

– Assessments, monitoring, reporting and auditing reflect the risk specific to the program, materiality of funding, and risk profile of the recipient.

• CIC therefore needs tools and processes to: – Allow for a harmonized management of CIC’s Gs&Cs across

settlement, resettlement and multiculturalism programs.

– Maintain accountability and reduce administrative burden on recipients and staff in proportion to risk level.

standardized and efficient risk-based approach for assessing, managing and mitigating risks with respect to Contribution Agreements (CAs).

• Characteristics: The approach is… – Integrated:

• contains both financial and program elements

• Is included in program assessment processes and critical paths.

– Harmonized: Consistent across settlement, resettlement and multiculturalism Gs&Cs programs

– Standardized: Regions across the country speaking the same ‘risk language’ in managing programs and reporting.

• Cash management (frequency of payments and advances)

• Holdbacks

• Frequency of reporting requirements

– Management of CA:• Type and frequency monitoring/audits

• Scope of review of reports

• FRAM’s risk elements inform mitigation strategies, allowing for focused approach in CA management.

Quick Facts for 2011-12:

• CIC has 383 CAs with 261 SPOs across Ontario.• Of these CAs, 227 are one-year (Toronto and Hamilton) and 156 are

two-year agreements.• 2011-12 Ontario funding: $346.5M

Impacts of the Modernized Approach:

• Accountability: more outcome-based programming, new internal measures of performance management

• Innovation: process open to new, innovative ideas• Simplicity: Reduced number of CAs, less reporting for organizations

providing multiple services• Consistency: Same terms and conditions across settlement services• Still “work in progress”, to be refined, responding to the shifting needs

of clients

Principles-Based Approach• Align with CIC’s “Settlement Plans and Priorities” and

Government of Canada priorities.• Maintain sector stability as much as possible.• Review all CAs based on client/community needs and

financial and activity monitoring results. • Recognize minimum program delivery costs for small and

medium size communities.• Maintain levels of resource currently allocated to

communities with newcomer population growth as much as possible.

Possible Strategies:• Review all two-year CAs to ensure they are still aligned with CIC

priorities and fiscal reality.• Mapping exercises to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities to

consolidate.• Eliminate inefficient, ineffective services. • Establish clear negotiation guidelines.• Greater reduction from indirect services agreements to support

direct services delivery.• Reduction of the maximum administrative costs to 15%.• Minimum consideration to renovation and capital procurements

unless health and safety concerns.
