The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) program is your ticket to settling in these close-knit communities and contributing to their growth. At CAN Pro Immigrations, we specialize in providing comprehensive RNIP services, ensuring your journey to becoming a valued member of these regions is smooth and rewarding.
The RNIP program offers a unique pathway to Canadian immigration, one that focuses on connecting skilled workers with job opportunities in participating communities. With our expert guidance and support, you can confidently navigate this program, whether you’re seeking a fresh start or are ready to embrace a more rural way of life.
To be considered for the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP), prospective candidates must meet the federal requirements and those established by the participating community they intend to settle in. The federal criteria include:
The community recommendation is based on various factors, including your intention to live in the designated community, the economic needs of the community, your work experience, skills, and your ties to the community. Recommendations are made by a designated community economic development organization.
For work experience, eligible candidates must have a minimum of 1,560 hours (equivalent to one year) of paid work experience in the past three years. This experience must be in a single occupation and can be accumulated in Canada or abroad, even with employment breaks. Self-employed work experience does not qualify. You must have performed most of the main duties and all essential duties described in the NOC for your profession.
In terms of education, you need a Canadian high school diploma or a foreign equivalent. If you completed your education outside Canada, you must obtain an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report from a designated organization to confirm its equivalence to Canadian standards. The ECA report should be less than five years old.
International students may be exempt from work experience requirements if they meet specific conditions, including graduating from a recognized post-secondary institution in Atlantic Canada and being a full-time student during their studies.
A genuine job offer in one of the participating communities is essential. The offered wage must meet the minimum wage specified in the Canada Job Bank, and your previous experience should demonstrate your ability to perform the job’s duties.
Language requirements are based on the NOC skill type/level of your job offer:
You must provide recent test results from a designated language testing organization, less than two years old.
Finally, candidates must show sufficient funds to support themselves and their families. These funds should not be borrowed and can include bank account statements, real property documents, or other investments guaranteeing payment.
Rural and northern Canada offers a unique way of life, characterized by close communities, stunning natural beauty, and a slower pace. The RNIP program not only welcomes newcomers but also encourages them to make significant contributions to the local economy and society.
