​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 one of the participating communities.

​

The process involves 4 steps to applying for permanent residence under this pilot.

​

1. Check that you meet both

   1. IRCC eligibility requirements and

   2. the community-specific requirements.

2. Find an eligible job with an employer in one of the participating communities.

3. Once you have a job offer, submit your application for recommendation to the community.

4. If a community recommends you, apply for permanent residence.

Each community will also have its own

• additional eligibility requirements

• job search process

• community recommendation application process
