The Rural And Northern Immigration Pilot - A Guide
The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) is community-driven, which means that able to participate societies take the initiative to draw in new immigrants, compare them with open positions in the area, promote a welcoming neighborhood, and create connections between newcomers and developed members of the neighborhood as well as with local services for settling in.
The Canadian government collaborates with small, isolated towns in Ontario, Western Canada, and the three territories to recruit and retain foreign employees through the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot.
Participating in the pilot are the 11 communities listed below:
- North Bay, Ontario
- Sudbury, Ontario,
- Thunder Bay, Ontario
- Brandon, Manitoba
- Timmins, Ontario
- Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
- Altona/Rhineland, Manitoba
- Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
- Claresholm, Alberta
- Vernon, British Columbia
- West Kootenay, B.C.
The eligibility of the pilot consists of:
- having a population of up to 200,000 and be deemed distant from other major cities OR have a population of 50,000 or fewer and be situated at least 75 km from the center of a Census Metropolitan Area
