Rural Canada Needs Workers – Get PR Through This Program

Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) is a pathway to permanent residence for foreign nationals who want to live and work in designated rural communities in Canada. Local economic development organizations in each community help identify labour shortages, approve employers, and recommend candidates for permanent residence (PR). RCIP replaces the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP), which ended in August 2024.
