Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot to Support Economic Growth for 11 Participating Communities in Canada

Canada is facing an aging population. In the last 10 years, those aged 65 and older comprised 14.1 percent to 18.0 percent of the population. According to Fraser Research, the growth is expected to rise even more until the mid-2030s by more than 23 percent. On the other hand, the birth rate has dropped as well that Canadians, given the present mortality rates, can no longer have a sufficient number of children to replace the existing population.
Rural and Northern Canada are among those affected by the aging Canadian population and the decline in the birth rate. It is for this reason that the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada initiated the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot to attract foreign skilled workers to work and settle in one of these 11 participating communities:
1. North Bay, ON
2. Sudbury, ON
3. Timmins, ON
4. Sault Ste. Marie, ON
5. Thunder Bay, ON
6. Brandon, MB
7. Altona/Rhineland, MB
8. Moose Jaw, SK
9. Claresholm, AB
10. Vernon, BC
11. West Kootenay, BC (Trail, Rossland, Castlegar, Nelson)

Eligibility Requirements
In the IRCC eligibility requirements, candidates must have at least one year of full-time work in the last three years. To make the Canadian immigration process easier for foreign nationals, the agency also allows the accumulated one-year work experience or equal to 1,560 hours in the previous three years.

The valid job offer must come from an employer in the preferred community. Candidates must also complete at least a Canadian secondary education or its equivalent as indicated in the Educational Credential Assessment or ECA report. Language requirement depends on what is specified in the occupation’s NOC category.
Aside from meeting the eligibility requirements from the IRCC, the candidates must also fulfill the requirements from their chosen communities. Because each community has its unique economic needs, each has its own sets of requirements.
Foreign skilled workers will have to submit these requirements to their chosen communities. If successful, they will receive community recommendations and subsequently continue the permanent residency application to the IRCC.
