Immigration to Nunavut gets federal government support
By courtney@...
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Minister Diane Finley recently
announced that funding of more than $600000 will be provided over three
years to help Nunavut attract newcomers to the Northern Territory.
The federal funding will be directed at enhancing online content, tools
and services to promote Nunavut as an immigration destination, and will
help newcomers settle once they arrive.
“Immigration and the successful integration of newcomers are priorities
for Nunavut,” stated Ed Picco, the Minister Responsible for Immigration.
“This funding will help us develop new and innovative ways to connect
immigrants as early as possible to the resources and services they need to
make a successful transition to their homes in Nunavut.”
Federal-provincial/territorial contribution agreements to develop online
services have already been signed with Alberta, New Brunswick,
Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island,
Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon. British Columbia
and Manitoba have also received funding to enhance online immigration and
settlement tools through existing federal-provincial immigration
agreements.
