Rural Communities In Alberta Can Have 40,000 New Immigrants By 2024

For many countries, the problem with immigration is that the immigrants would tend to stay in cities and urban areas making the place even more crowded. Only a few would choose the rural communities. However, this is not surprising as the immigrants are basically not choosy. The only thing that makes them stay in these areas is that they do not know that there are opportunities waiting for them in the rural areas. Plus, they do not even know what would be waiting for them there. Urban areas are more advertised and talked about so immigrants know more about these places and these are the only places they know. In the case of Canada, they would most likely flock to Toronto or Quebec or Vancouver or Montreal.

Many rural communities need immigrants too and that is why the local candidates for the provincial government of Alberta has been working on policies that should bring in around 40,000 new immigrants to the rural areas. This should be happening until 2024. Thanks to the proposal of the United Conservative Party, rural communities just may get the immigrants that they need.

Change is coming to Alberta

If the United Conservative Party wins the local elections in Alberta, then immigrants just may be moving to the rural parts in the next four years. Polls have shown that more and more people are opting for the UCP in the upcoming elections and this could definitely mean change for Alberta. Jason Kenney is the man leading the UCP and he has also served as the Minister for Immigration of Canada back in 2008 right up until 2013.

In a recent interview, Kenney has stated that Alberta should take advantage of immigration and the power that it has to be able to bring more life to the rural areas and communities. These places may be small but they hold a lot of potential which could be brought to life via immigrants’ help. The UCP is already working on policies that should soon be working if they are put into office. The policies would be all about creating pathways for immigrants in Canada to make their way to rural areas in Alberta that should be good for the communities there.

The goal for the UCP

Pathways that the UCP is planning is aiming at bringing in as much as 10,000 immigrants and make them permanent residents of Alberta. They would be staying in the rural communities of the province. Aside from that, the 10,000 individuals who would be awarded permanent residency statuses should be coming in yearly right until 2024. That would be a total of 40,000 by the end of the policy. This number is huge and the additional workforce would definitely be advantageous for Alberta and the whole of Canada.
