Rural And Northern Pilot Nominee Program

Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) was presented to attract skilled immigrants to the rural and poorer districts of the country. The 5-year program has now started accepting requests in three of its eleven participating societies.

To welcome over 1 million newcomers in the upcoming years, Canada is well-recognized for receiving high numbers of immigrants. However, most newcomers continue to reside in the most known cities like Toronto and Montreal. 

The management introduced the RNIP so that Canada’s rural and northern societies could have an equal chance to integrate and hire skilled workers to satisfy current labour markets.
