What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Government of Canada announced the Rural Community Immigration Pilot is now a permanent program. This program is designed to support the economy by helping smaller, rural communities attract and retain essential workers facing persistent labor shortages. It functions as an economic immigration pathway for skilled workers and international graduates in priority sectors, leading to permanent residence. The permanent program targets 5,500 admission spaces this year.
