Alfred Moses, minister of Education, Culture and Employment, says a new plan aims to increase the number of immigrants who settle in the N.W.T. CBC News The five-year strategy is to beef up the existing immigrant nominee program to encourage foreign nationals to settle in the territory, help increase the population, and fill jobs or create new ones. A report from the Conference Board of Canada says filling those positions will be a challenge for the N.W.T. On June 30, the Government of the Northwest Territories released a new immigration plan to help address the territory's potential labour shortage. The plan also includes a focus on bringing more francophone immigrants into the nominee program. The cost of the new program was not included in the press release. The details are not fleshed out, but they include ramping up marketing of the N.W.T. to the rest of the country and the world as a place to live and work, streamlining the application process, and improving support for those who move to the territory.
