Immigration Plan: Immigration and Pilot Project

immigration plan: The plan will also see the number of immigrants under the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Project double to 4,000 by 2020, according to The Chronicle Herald. The pilot project was announced in July as part of the Atlantic growth strategy and officially launched in March. The immigration plan released Wednesday will see immigration levels climb from 300,000 people a year this year to 310,000 in 2018 and 330,000 in 2019. It aimed to bring up to 2,000 primary immigrant applicants and their families in 2017, with increased numbers in following years if the program performs well. The program is designed to be a faster stream for immigration and, unlike other programs, includes employers. Nova Scotia was allocated about 800 of those slots. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
