British Wanted in Canada

One of Canada's Largest Regions Wants to Attract British Immigrants

THUNDER BAY, Canada, September 16, 2010 - Northwestern Ontario, one of Canada's largest yet most
sparsely populated regions, wants to attract British immigrants. The 32
diverse communities that make up this relatively unknown region along Lake
Superior, have come together to launch a new immigration recruitment strategy
that promises British newcomers the best of all worlds.

Northwestern Ontario's communities are actively inviting the
British to find a new home, job or business opportunity in the region. With
only one out of its 32 communities having a population greater than 10,000,
the focus of this new strategy is to promote community renewal through
population growth, knowledge and investment attraction, and other economic
development opportunities.

In particular, new graduates and skilled workers are wanted
because there are currently more positions to be filled in certain sectors
than there are qualified candidates. The regional labour market has a very
urgent need for professionals in the health care, science and technology
sectors. Furthermore, an aging population has resulted in a surplus of
businesses for sale.

Northwestern Ontario is located in the centre of Canada and
while the region may not be easily recognizable by name, its assets are
recognized worldwide. They include the nature of Lake Superior; the world's
largest freshwater lake, and the City of Thunder Bay; recently voted the most
affordable urban centre to live in the world. A small but steadily growing
population of British newcomers has started to discover Northwestern Ontario
as an immigration destination in Canada.

Stephanie Suarez immigrated to Thunder Bay at age 26.
Disillusioned by the escalating cost of living and poor quality of life in
England, Stephanie opened her own business in Northwestern Ontario. Within 3
years, she had won several business awards including Influential Young Woman
of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and one of Canada's Top10 One's
to Watch by Canadian Marketing Magazine.

Says Stephanie; "I would have to be a multi-millionaire in
London, England to live the type of lifestyle I enjoy in Northwestern
Ontario. I am the envy of my British friends who face long commutes and work
days just to pay for a shared apartment, let alone start a family or their
own business. I am certain that the opportunities in Northwestern Ontario are
unmatched anywhere else in the world."

Fifty-something's, Stephen and Rita Ash, recently sold their
3-bedroom semi in West Yorkshire to retire to Northwestern Ontario. "We are
enjoying a retirement lifestyle here that would never have been within our
reach in England. We can golf, sail, travel and eat in the best restaurants
on a pension that would have only covered basic living costs back home. Add
the low crime rate, cleanliness and friendly people, and it reminds us of
what England used to be like years ago," says Stephen Ash.

Northwestern Ontario's communities have launched a new website
portal www.immigrationnorthwesternontario.ca to help
prospective newcomers learn more about living, working, learning and doing
business in the region. In addition, a marketing campaign is running across
major cities in Britain over the next few months. The initiative has been
funded by the Ontario and federal governments through the Canada-Ontario
Immigration Agreement.
