Sault Ste. Marie , Thunder Bay and Sudbury mayors say they need more immigrants to sustain local economies and population.

They say a one -size-fits-all approach to immigration policy doesn’t benefit northern regions.

In March , the federal government promised to create a permanent rural immigration program.

But months later , Ottawa said it would slash its immigration target for permanent residents.

“We are continuing to assess how immigration can best support the needs of rural areas,” a spokesman said.

Frédéric Boulanger , director of immigration programs and services at Collège Boréal , said immigrants are willing to resettle in areas with good employment prospects.
