The province is providing approximately $2.59 million in funding to support immigrant service providers across the province. Approximately $664,300 in funding will go to immigrant-serving organizations in Regina, more than $894,500 will go to organizations in Saskatoon, and more than $1.03 million will be provided to organizations in other communities across the province.
"As immigration to Saskatchewan increases, providing effective English training and integration services to immigrants will become increasingly vital to the strength of our communities and the prosperity of our province overall," Advanced Education, Employment and Labour Minister Rob Norris said. "This funding will help to ensure that newcomers to Saskatchewan have greater access to the supports they need, allowing them to participate more fully in the community and build their lives here."
Funding will support English language training and settlement services provided by organizations in: Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, the Battlefords, Lloydminster, Tisdale, Hudson Bay, Humboldt, Yorkton, Estevan, Weyburn, Gravelbourg, Swift Current and other surrounding communities. Funding will also support English language training provided by the Carlton Trail, Cumberland, Great Plains, Parkland, North West and Southeast Regional Colleges. Saskatchewan Association of Immigrant Settlement and Integration Agencies (SAISIA) and the provincial council of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress will also receive funding.
The provincial government has set an aggressive immigration target of 2,800 nominations for the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program during the 2008-09 fiscal year. Including nominees, spouses and families, this represents more than 7,500 newcomers to our province.
