What’s the significance of designated employers for the Rural Community Immigration Pilot?
The RCIP is an employer-driven immigration pilot.
That means that foreign nationals need to have a job offer from a designated employer in order to be eligible.
In addition, they need to meet other criteria:
- Work experience: Foreign nationals need at least one year (1,560 hours) of relevant work experience within the last year. International graduates from recognized post-secondary institutions in the region may be exempt from this work experience requirement.
- Language proficiency: Foreign nationals need to prove their English or French language proficiency. The Canadian Language Benchmark needed depends on the Training Education Experience and Responsibilities category that the job offer falls within, but is in the CLB 4-6 range.
- Educational qualifications: The foreign national must hold a Canadian secondary school education credential or equivalent foreign qualification.
- Settlement funds: The foreign national must demonstrate that they have sufficient financial resources to support themselves and any accompanying members during the settlement process. The amount needed is updated annually and can be seen here.
If a foreign worker meets all the criteria and has a job offer, the employer must then get the job offer endorsed by the participating region’s local economic development organization.
If successful, the foreign worker can apply directly to the federal government for PR.
RCIP has seen great demand since its launch. There are 14 communities participating in the RCIP. Almost all the communities (with the exception of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan) have launched their programs.
