Pilot Programs

RNIP 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 one of the participating communities.

To be eligible for RNIP, you must

• have qualifying work experience or have graduated from a publicly funded post-secondary institution in the recommending community
• 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
• meet community-specific requirements
• have temporary resident status (if you’re in Canada when you apply)
   

The Agri-Food Pilot helps address the labour needs of the Canadian agri-food sector.

The pilot provides a pathway to permanent residence for experienced, non-seasonal workers in specific industries and occupations. It will run until May 2023.

To apply for permanent residence under the Agri-Food Pilot, you need

• Eligible Canadian work experience in one or more of the eligible industries and occupations
• A full-time, non-seasonal job offer from a Canadian employer in one of the eligible industries and occupations (outside of Quebec)
• To meet or exceed the language requirements
• To meet or exceed the educational requirements
• To have settlement funds (if applicable)
• To maintain temporary resident status (if already in Canada)
   

EMPP combines refugee resettlement and economic immigration. It’s a pathway that

• Helps skilled refugees immigrate to Canada through existing economic programs
• Gives employers access to a new pool of qualified candidates to fill job openings
• Starting December 3, 2021, EMPP phase 2 will help settle up to 500 skilled refugees, and their families, in Canada.
• The pilot combines refugee resettlement and economic immigration. The support we provide overseas is tailored to refugees. The selection criteria, including the ability to settle independently in Canada, is assessed using economic immigration requirements.
