Rural & Francophone pathways

Look beyond major cities to participating communities and designated employers.

Two community-based pilots

The Rural Community Immigration Pilot and Francophone Community Immigration Pilot are current federal pathways. They use participating communities, designated employers and community recommendations. The former RNIP is not the application route for these pilots.

Check community requirements

Check geographic boundaries, priority jobs, employer designation and the community’s current intake. Language and other federal criteria still apply; a general job offer is not enough.
