Kingston, Ontario unveils new immigration and settlement web portal

Yesterday, the city of Kingston in Ontario announced the introduction of a new web portal aimed at attracting new immigrants to the city.

The bilingual web portal, which will officially be launched on Friday, offers new immigrants and those planning to immigrate to Canada information on the benefits of settling in Kingston as well as settlement services in the area.
