Immigrants looking to settle out of Ontario

The federal government will cut $31.5 million from immigrant settlement services in Ontario the coming year, while increasing funds to other provinces. There has been a 17% drop in the number of skilled newcomers resettling in Toronto, federal officials say. According to media reports, Ontario’s province-wide share of total immigrants fell from a high of 148,641, or 59.3%, in 2001 to 106,868, or 42.4%, in 2009. In fact, along several shops along Yonge street in Toronto one will find a Nepal man with a nursing degree working at pizza pizza and he is looking to go to Alberta because he is told there would be a job for his skill. Another person from Windsor with a Masters in Library Science degree is working at a front counter for Starbucks.
