New federal immigration program to support middle class
jobs in rural and northern communities
Ottawa, ON— The Government
of Canada is committed to supporting
immigration strategies that will enable
smaller communities to enhance their
economic, social and demographic
vitality.
Today, the Honourable Ahmed
Hussen, Minister of Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship Canada,
announced the creation of the Rural
and Northern Immigration Pilot, a
five-year federal immigration pilot
involving communities and selected
provincial and territorial governments
that works to help participating
communities gain access to a range
of support to help newcomers settle
in as part of the local community.
This
innovative
economic
immigration pilot is aimed at testing
new, community-driven approaches
to address the diverse labour market
needs of smaller communities. This
initiative builds on the success of the
Atlantic Immigration Pilot that was
launched in March 2017 to help drive
economic growth in Atlantic Canada.
As of today, Immigration, Refugees
and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is
seeking applications from interested
communities in Ontario, Western
Canada, and the territories in order
to select communities to participate
in the pilot. Interested communities
must work with a local economic
development organization to submit
an application, demonstrating how
they meet the eligibility criteria and how
immigration will promote economic
development in their community.
The
Rural
and
Northern
Immigration Pilot will complement
other
economic
immigration
initiatives, including the Atlantic
Immigration Pilot and the Provincial
Nominee Program. It will also provide
an opportunity for IRCC to support the
Government of Canada’s commitment
to support the vitality of Francophone
communities outside Quebec.
