We need to do a better job of welcoming immigrants. This includes encouraging municipalities, stakeholders and employers to attract and retain skilled immigrants who can make valuable contributions to local economies.
Building stronger, inclusive communities that promote and value diversity will help all Ontario municipalities grow and succeed. Newcomers complement the skills of the domestic labour force, bring new investments and innovative practices, help to open trade routes with their countries of origin and enhance cultural diversity.

Our targets
Immigration is directly associated with investment and economic activity that makes Canadian companies and marketplaces more innovative.
