Communities in Northern British Columbia are hoping a new federal immigration pilot will help them fill job vacancies.
Unveiled by the Government of Canada last month, the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot will facilitate permanent residence for foreign workers of various skill levels in selected communities in Canada’s three northern territories and the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
Eligible communities are those with a population of 50,000 or less located at least 75 kilometres from the core of a metropolitan area of 100,000 or more, or a city of up to 200,000 people that qualifies as remote.
In a recent interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb said his community of around 10,000 people in British Columbia’s Central Interior region would benefit from immigration.
“We have jobs, jobs, jobs that we can’t fill,” Cobb said.
Cobb said the jobs span the spectrum, from entry-level opportunities to skilled trades in the forest and mining industries, both of which are key local industries.
