Northwestern Ontario communities launch immigration portal

A new immigration portal for newcomers to Canada was launched today by communities in Northwestern Ontario. The portal provides information on settling and working in Northwestern Ontario cities and towns, such as Thunder Bay and Kenora.

Immigrants to Canada can use the portal to learn about the benefits of immigrating to the area, such as the natural and cultural diversity of the area, as well as about finding jobs and choosing schools in the region. The information is translated into 11 languages.

“Prospective immigrants to Canada and newcomers from around the country or province can now find everything they need to know about living, working, learning and doing business in Northwestern Ontario and its communities at the click of a mouse,” said Rebecca Johnson, Advisory Committee Member for the Northwestern Ontario Immigration Portal.
