Abstract
Concern over outmigration has factored significantly in the political discourse not just of Sault Ste. Marie and Northern Ontario, but across the northern and rural regions of Canada. To overcome the stagnant and in some cases declining population, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada launched the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) to attract and retain immigrants, which will include the Northern Ontario cities of North Bay, Sudbury, Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay as well as communities in western Canada. This article is a review of the RNIP. There are some interesting suggestions for the policy makers in this write-up.
