Update on the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot!
The Canadian government recently announced the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot, an exciting new federal immigration program aimed at attracting new immigrants to rural and northern communities in Canada. This five-year initiative will help match employers who are experiencing an acute labour shortage with skilled foreign workers.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) just announced the 11 communities that will participate in the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot:
* North Bay, Ontario
* Sault-Ste-Marie, Ontario
* Sudbury, Ontario
* Thunder Bay, Ontario
* Timmins, Ontario
* Brandon, Manitoba
* Gretna-Rhineland-Altona-Plum Coulee, Manitoba
* Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
* Claresholm, Alberta
* Vernon, British Columbia (BC)
* West Kootenay, BC
The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot is testing a new, community-driven approach to encourage newcomers to immigrate to Canada’s rural and northern communities. To complement the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot, the Government of Canada is also working with the territories to address the unique immigration needs in Canada’s North.
In the next few months more information will be released on how immigrants can apply to the program.
