Settling In Canada: Immigration

Immigration Services Dept: "We have seen a shift in where immigrants are settling in Canada," Kenney said Thursday. "It used to be that Ontario received, by far, the largest share of immigrants, but that's come down quite significantly.", according to Vancouver Sun. The minister said in 2005, Ontario had 145,000 immigrants take up residence in the province, but last year that number dropped to about 106,000 and immigration Minister Jason Kenney says the reason the federal government is cutting millions of dollars from immigration settlement programs is because more new Canadians are choosing to live in some not-so-traditional locations. Liberal MPs held a Toronto news conference attacking what they say are federal funding cuts of $50 million to the settlement programs. But Kenney said the amount of money given to immigration services has more than tripled since the Conservatives took power, and described the Tory move as a reallocation of funds. As reported in the news.
