Applications are being accepted until July 2 for the new rural and Francophone immigration pilot programs.
Interested economic development organizations can apply for one or both of the pilots, said a news release from Nickel Belt MP Marc Serré.
“These organizations will submit an application on behalf of their communities and must demonstrate their eligibility and show how immigration will strengthen their local economies,” the release states.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will select up to 15 communities to participate in the pilots based on their economic needs, availability of services and programs to assist newcomers, and the capacity of their economic development organizations to partner with IRCC.
Details and eligibility criteria for the application can be found here.
