A website set up to entice immigrants to northwestern Ontario is attracting some interest.
The Northwestern Ontario Immigration Portal, which provides information about the region, went online in March and is managed by the Thunder Bay Multicultural Association.
Executive Director Kathy Woodbeck says they've been dealing with about 3 to 5 inquiries each day since.
"We've had individuals communities requested," says Woodbeck. "We've had people asking about their professions if they are needed in this region and how they can connect with economic development corporations in the communities."
Woodbeck says the site has also attracted people living elsewhere in Canada to the northwest.
