Canadian Rural Communities looking for Skilled Workers
The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot is a community-driven program. It’s designed to spread the benefits of economic immigration to smaller communities by creating a path to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers who want to work and live in 1 of the participating communities.
This program is designed to help meet local labour market needs and support regional economic development, create welcoming environments to support new immigrants staying in rural communities
This program will help to increase long-term retention of skilled newcomers to rural areas by working with community-based partners, other federal government partners, provincial and territorial governments
As a candidate, you need to find a job with an employer in 1 of the participating communities. If a community recommends you and you’re successful in applying for permanent residence, you’ll then move there to work and live. The application process for eligible candidates will begin as early as fall 2019. We’ll provide more information at that time.
Please contact us for more detailed information.
