The Mediterranean Immigration Initiative: Mediterranean Countries

Skilled Workers Dept: The Mediterranean Immigration Initiative will be launched in the new year, aimed at encouraging skilled workers from countries like Italy, Greece, Portugal and Spain to work and live in Manitoba, according to CBC. "What the province's role will be is identifying the candidates in these countries which have the skills to match those needs," Fanny Levy of the provincial nominee program said Wednesday and the Manitoba government wants to make it easier for workers from Mediterranean countries like Greece and Italy to come to the province. Government officials say the first step is to survey the province's business community to find out what types of skilled workers are needed here. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
