December 19, 2019 - Ontario has announced the launch of a new
Regional Immigration Pilot designed to attract newcomers to smaller
communities.
The two-year
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program pilot aims to fulfill
labour needs that are not currently being met locally.
It will focus specifically on the communities of Chatham-Kent,
Cornwall and Belleville/Quinte West.
"Our government is committed to growing economic
immigration and connecting job creators in small and rural
communities with the talent they need to expand and succeed,"
said Minister of Economic Development Vic Fedeli.
"Through the Regional Immigration Pilot, businesses in
Belleville/Quinte West, Chatham-Kent and Cornwall now have the
ability to meet their employment requirements and create even more
good jobs."
