We've been advocating for regional immigration strategies. We believe that new immigrants should be exposed to different types of opportunities in both urban centres and smaller communities around them. But at the moment, because of a lack of information and support in some areas, most new immigrants prefer to settle in urban centres where they can find support and services. That's why we advocate for new strategies to provide more support and effective services in outlying areas to attract and retain new immigrants.
