Immigration minister Marc Miller describes the program as supporting ‘economic migration’ for its host communities
This, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Marc Miller told a Sudbury audience, is in response to the advocacy and support from affected communities such as Greater Sudbury.
Making the RNIP permanent has been a longstanding point of advocacy on the part of the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce, Greater Sudbury city council and local Liberal MPs. “There’s a path to employment, and offers these opportunities, more people will want to come here and take on these jobs and opportunities as well.”
There’s a role for both the federal government and the province to ensure that supply is increased, he said, adding that although the federal government has made recent strides, “Has it been enough? Certainly not.” Wednesday’s announcement also included the introduction of a Francophone Community Immigration Pilot, which was not fully defined.
