Timmins located in the northern part of Ontario sees a record number of immigrants applying under the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP).

The city doubled the number of newcomers due to the community’s ability to retain these immigrants.

According to the director for community economic development at the Timmins Economic Development Corporation (TEDC), Noella Rinaldo, the city’s retention of newcomers has been encouraging for the city.

Last year, Timmins received more than 120 applications and issued 106 community recommendations to candidates.
