Alberta may get 40,000 new immigrants to its rural areas

Alberta province in Canada may get 40,000 new immigrants in the coming 4 years. This is under the plan proposed by the United Conservative Party in the province.

The residents of Alberta will vote for a new government for the province in spring 2019. Several polls have demonstrated that Jason Kenney and his United Conservative Party is leading with decisive votes.

Jason Kenney was the Immigration Minister of Canada from 2008 to 2013. He said that the Alberta province must utilize the power of migration. This is for revitalizing the small and rural communities, as quoted by the CIC News. The UCP will try to achieve this by an immigration strategy focused on 2 vital programs:

• The Rural Entrepreneurial Stream
• The Rural Renewal Program

Kenny said that both the pathways and together bring around 10,000 new immigrants to the rural communities annually. This is as Canada PR holders to settle in the province. This means 40,000 PR holders over the first term of the UCP. It is if the party is able to defeat the New Democratic Party that is currently ruling Alberta.

The UCP leader said that it will be aimed to pace up the processing times and clear large backlogs. Overseas talents will be proactively attracted to the province. Overseas Entrepreneurs who create jobs will be welcomed and encouraged to settle in rural areas, said Kenny. These are in major need of population, he explained.

The Rural Renewal Program will function under the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program. It will offer priority to candidates in economic immigration streams. They must express interest to settle in small and rural communities in Alberta.

Kenny said that communities participating in the program will be able to hire, screen and recommend the candidates. These could be already residing in the community on Temporary Work Visas. They could also be overseas applicants, he added.
