Though fewer than 1,000 people have moved so far, Mottley sees it as a success, calling it a strategic move to address workforce shortages on the small island. The program, open to citizens from Barbados, Belize, Dominica, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is expanding: Grenada has formally requested membership, and Saint Lucia is weighing in. Mottley frames this as a slow, steady evolution—mirroring CARICOM’s own growth—proving that regional cooperation can thrive even with modest beginnings.
