Indeed. The same article noted that the school in Cap Pele is receiving 50 new students, mostly all children of economic migrants recruited to fill positions in the fish plants. I believe they were mostly from South America and Southeast Asia.
Another article in the T&T today mentioned a company called
360Insights setting up shop on Foundry Street, beginning with 35 employees, hoping to expand to 200 employees by 2021.
Based in Ontario, the company is a "channel incentive management platform", and no, I have no idea what that means, but apparently they consult and provide management support to other companies. Rather than expand further in Toronto, they chose Moncton for the low cost of living, the bilingual character of the city, it's infrastructure, and the airport which provides convenient access to HQ back in Toronto.
They will pay their employees the same as in TO, but their money will go further here. While they will recruit locally, it sounds like a number of employees will relocate here from the big smoke.
I think in the future that growth in Moncton will increasingly be from international and interprovincial sources. I think internal migration from the north will soon peter out.
