Two communities are now accepting applications from workers.
Two communities are now accepting applications from workers hoping to immigrate to one of Canada’s rural or northern communities. The communities of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and Altona/Rhineland, Manitoba, are now officially accepting applications from hopeful newcomers.
It is expected that other communities will open to applicants in the near future. Brandon, Manitoba has announced they will begin accepting applications from workers as of December 1, 2019, with Claresholme, Alberta announcing it will begin accepting applications in January, 2020.
Those interested in applying to the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot program should pay attention in the coming weeks and months as it is likely the other participating communities will be making similar announcements from Expressway Immigration
About the pilot
The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot is a community-driven program. It’s designed to spread the benefits of economic immigration to smaller communities by creating a path to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers who want to work and live in 1 of the participating communities.
Who can apply
To be eligible for the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot Program, you must meet all IRCC eligibility requirements. You must

- meet or exceed the language requirements
- meet or exceed the educational requirements
- prove you have enough money to support your transition into the community
- intend to live in the community

If you meet all of the requirements, you can start to look for an eligible job in the community.
Job offer requirements
The job you’re offered must meet all of these requirements:

Skill level
Your job offer must be at the same skill level, 1 level above or 1 level below the NOC that matches your work experience.
