Ontario Driving Rural and Northern Economic Growth through Skilled Immigration

  • Our government is growing rural and northern economies and giving them the tools they need to build for the future.
  • We have launched a pilot Regional Economic Development Through Immigration (REDI) program to target highly skilled immigration in four rural and northern communities through the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
  • This program will run until December 31, 2025 in the four communities of Lanark, Leeds & Grenville, Sarnia-Lambton and Thunder Bay.
  • REDI enables local employers in to attract up to 800 additional workers for in-demand careers that drive local economic growth, such as healthcare, technology, and the skilled trades including construction.
  • This program serves as a blueprint for targeted economic immigration that strengthens local communities and economies ensuring Ontario remains the best place to work, live and raise a family.
