Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot

The provincial communities have agreed in conjunction with working with the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to form the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot Program to benefit the communities through this project. There are a total of 11 communities participating in the pilot program, out of which only 10 are currently active; the Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan is expected to come online soon. This pilot program is personalized to meet the shortage of skilled workforce in highly demanded occupation with a focus on developing the economy of the community, thus, fulfilling the country’s economic goals at large.

Being governed by the community, RNIP caters to give out economic immigration benefits to smaller Canadian communities by creating a path for skilled individuals to live and settle in one of the participating communities and eventually applying for Canadian permanent residence.

The RNIP program is community-driven meaning that it is the end decision of the community whether to grant you permission to immigrate to Canada or not. However, for you to be selected under the RNIPimmigration program, the participating communities must:

• Nominate a candidate/candidates who:

1. Qualify as a driving force to the growing economy of the community.

2. Has a valid offer of employment that meets the ongoing requirements of the community.

3. Proves that they have genuine intention to stay in the community permanently.

• After making the nomination for the best candidate, the community would recommend IRCC to give the final verdict for the Canada PR visa of applying candidature.

• Once the IRCC approves, the governing community then reaches out to the candidate to inform them about settlement services and mentoring them to provide ease in migrating to Canada.
