\n
1. Engage foreign nationals to make an investment by purchasing or establishing a new business.<\/li>\n
2. Engage those foreign nationals who possess skills, which are aligned with present workforce requirements.<\/li>\n
3. Be supportive and responsive while fulfilling the integration and settlement needs of such foreign nationals.<\/li>\n
4. Maintain a collaborative working relationship between concerned departments such as departments of Tourism and Investment (ITI), Education, Immigration and Culture and Employment (ECE).<\/li>\n
5. Educate NWT employers and foreign nationals with reference to the responsibilities and rights of workers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   \u201cThe Strategy will serve as a blueprint for a territorial approach to optimizing immigration programs in the NWT over the next five years. Beyond the economic benefits, welcoming new people to our territory contributes to the vibrant, diverse cultural landscape that makes the North a unique place to live”.<\/p>\n
