It is very important.
I usually say that Sudbury is the capital of the north. We are surrounded by a number of towns and we are working really hard to attract newcomers. We realize that the process international students seeking permanent residence have to follow forces them to drive for hours. When they arrive in the south, they must be able to pay for a hotel. It is complicated for them. We had a dramatic situation with a family of refugee claimants whose members unfortunately lost their lives.
We feel that those are very important aspects. If we had an office in our community, it would facilitate the task for those people who have to go through all those steps, and that would help them integrate more easily.
