Cold Lake City wants to renew the Alberta Rural Renewal Stream on February 16, 2023, Cold Lake City announced that the City Council approved a letter of support for the City’s application to the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program’s Rural Renewal Stream. This letter of support was the last requirement for a community designation application in this program, which provides foreign nationals with an alternate pathway to immigration other than through a labor market impact assessment (LIMA), given they have gained employment from one of the employers accepted into the program.
The Rural Renewal Stream initiative is a pilot project that enables designated organizations from local communities to select qualified businesses for participation.
Honourable Mayor Craig Copeland stated:
“Our business community has been reminding us over and over again that there is a vital need for this initiative in the town, a need that will only increase in the years to come as significant federal projects are finished there.”
“Economic immigration has been shown to assist local companies in addressing labor market gaps, and as immigrants settle in and start a family in our community, they add to the vitality and excitement of Cold Lake.”
Alberta Rural Renewal Stream
Rural communities in Alberta can apply for community designation with the aim of attracting and hiring immigrants to fill labor shortages and settle immigrants into rural communities.
Through a community-driven program that meets local economic development requirements and supports community growth, the Rural Renewal Stream assists rural Alberta to attract and keep new residents. The Rural Renewal Stream gives rural areas the ability to attract and keep foreigners who want to live, work, and settle in their areas.
Before hiring and endorsing a candidate for the Rural Renewal Stream, communities must apply for and receive the designation. Candidates may apply for the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program if they possess a letter endorsing them from a designated community.
