The provincial government has launched a new immigration website, www.ontarioimmigration.ca, to welcome newcomers and provide them with information needed to start new lives in Ontario.

The website features information about places to live, work and study, as well as details on how to start new businesses or practice in a trade or profession. Immigrants can also download important forms such as immigration and driver's license applications on the site.

"The immigration website is a great way for newcomers to learn more about our city, our schools and our services before and after they arrive," Greater Sudbury Mayor Dave Courtemanche said in a written statement.

"I am delighted that Sudbury is one of the first cities showcased on the site."

According to the government of Ontario, about 125,000 newcomers arrive in the province each year - more than half of all immigrants coming to Canada.

Currently, immigration accounts for an estimated 70 percent of Ontario's net labour force growth, and will account for all of the province's net labour force growth within the next six years.
