Thank you for the question.
I don't have a specific answer with respect to whether or not the rural and northern immigration pilot will become permanent. What I can say is that, given the time it started, we've been slowly able to ramp up admissions and incorporate new regions into the pilot itself. We clearly will need to have some time to be able to review the program and to watch the functioning of the program.
What I can say is that the department is monitoring this very closely. Based on the ongoing review, as we move towards the end of the pilot, there will likely be advice given as to whether to extend this pilot further.
