The Rural Community Immigration Pilot offers permanent residence (PR) to skilled workers who want to work and settle in rural and more remote communities.
We chose 14 communities who showed they can support and benefit from skilled migrants. They will approve certain employers to hire for jobs that they can’t fill with local workers.
The following communities will participate in the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP):
- Pictou County, NS
- North Bay, ON
- Sudbury, ON
- Timmins, ON
- Sault Ste. Marie, ON
- Thunder Bay, ON
- Steinbach, MB
- Altona/Rhineland, MB
- Brandon, MB
- Moose Jaw, SK
- Claresholm, AB
- West Kootenay, BC
