  • S5 Ep7: What Should You Consider When Immigrating Or Relocating
    If you are looking to immigrate to Canada or relocate from a major urban center to a smaller community then press play. In "Let's find your Canadian town" podcast series. We look at what some people never consider and that is the importance of the "great outdoors" as well as we review the benefits of living in an affordable town.  Sure my podcast covers immigration issues and pathways but I truly feel there is a lack of understanding and awareness of all the opportunities in a small town! With this in mind, I want to introduce you to the benefits and get to know rural Canada a bit better. I hope you take some time to join me, your prairie girl, Lindsay Rubeniuk, to discover the great life that is waiting for you!  Contact Information 100meridian.ca (website) [email protected] (email)  100th Meridian Immigration Enquiry form (Relocation or Immigration) Resources https://bestdiplomats.org/small-cities-in-canada/ https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship.html Credits:  The Time It Takes | Kayla Luky (bandcamp.com) Grow Media Group: Dauphin, MB | Digital Marketing

  • S5 Ep5: Canada's Rural Immigration Pilot - Is your prairie community ready?
    Join me as I take an in-depth look at the IRCC's Rural Community Immigration Pilot specifically the Call For Proposals (CFP). This episode is great for those communities interested in applying and those newcomers who want to know how this initiative will work. I will walk through each of the topics within the CFP and provide a bit of insight into how immigration works, why this will benefit rural communities and get into detail of what IRCC is expecting. I will also give my thoughts as to perhaps why some communities may just be better positioned than others. The rural community immigration pilot aims to ensure that rural communities continue to have the ability to access programs that address labour shortages and help local businesses find the workers they need. It will provide pathways to permanent residence for newcomers who can help to overcome critical labour job shortages and want to live long term in these smaller communities. The successful communities will launch their own immigration initiatives in the fall of 2024. In a future episode I will look at how this process may work for those in Canada but are here temporarily. Being a rural person who currently lives & works in a rural Canadian town I will give you an insight into rural Canada and its possibilities!  Resources 100meridian.ca  Community Rural Immigration June 14th webinar (Registration Link) IRCC's Community Application (CFP) Index of Remoteness Immigration & Rural Canada Takeaways Read the application (Call for Proposals) from start to finish before you dive in. Be honest with yourself if your community is ready to apply; Know what you need and who you need, gather and brain-storm (involve those who need to be involved).  Make sure you have an inventory of your community's infrastructure & social services; Ensure that every partner understand their role in the project. Highlights 4:27 How this pilot could benefit the communities. 5:10 Not every community should be applying.  7:10 What are they expecting from the community? 9:49 Administrative Capacity - who could that be? Understand there is money coming with this application. 13:30 Roles of Economic Development Organizations, Communities and Employers. 16:14 What is IRCC's role? 10:46 Letters of Support from various stakeholders.  18:23 The basic criteria. 20;25 Housing. Housing. Housing.  22:08 No one is getting funding from IRCC for this initiative. 23:12 Employers - they have to be committed, not just your municipal government. They are the most critical partners.  Music "Fresh Breeze" by Stwee Audio "The Time It Takes" by Kayla Luky https://kaylaluky.bandcamp.com/album/... Produced by https://www.growmediagroup.ca/

Did you know Hazlet is home for many international students from around the world, join us as she speaks about the Chinook International Program.  Alban will also let us in on the fact that for a lovely three bedroom home in her area is about $500, 000 less then the national average and there are plenty of employment as well as business opportunities.
