Canada will help those who immigrate to rural towns
The government allocated a large sum for services for newcomers.
Immigration Canada has allocated a $35-million CAD investment to expand services for newly arrived immigrants who have settled in rural areas. The government notes that during a pandemic, it is especially difficult for residents to settle in a new place.
As part of the immigrant assistance program, 23 projects were selected to help newcomers settle and adapt to Canada. Particular attention was given to small and medium-sized cities and rural communities.
"Immigrants and refugees have long been a driving force in Canadian society and the economy, and our country is proud to be an international leader in immigration and integration," said Immigration Minister Sean Fraser.
Immigrant support includes:
- financial aid for the first year of living in Canada or until the immigrant starts earning enough money;
- help in learning the language and finding a job;
- support for French-speaking immigrants, and more.
Thanks to this new residents will contribute to the country's economic recovery in the future.
