Newly Launched Rural And Northern Immigration Pilot

Posted on October 31, 2025 By CampusTimesNG No Comments on Newly Launched Rural And Northern Immigration Pilot

What’s All About The Rural And Northern Immigration Pilot?

The pilot is about a program that aims to bridge the gap in the labor market of rural and northern communities currently. These communities are suffering from a labor shortage because of the obvious youth migration, lower birth rates as well as an aging population.

Canada.ca revealed that between 2001 and 2016, there has been a 23% reduction in the number of potential workers while those close to retirement increased by 40%. The 11 participating communities have been selected and applications for interested immigrants are expected to open in the Fall of 2019.

The application process details have not yet been issued. However, this is a community-driven program which implies that the selected communities will maintain the role of candidate recruitment.

The target is about attracting the types of immigrants that should best fit the needs of a particular community. Rural and Northern communities play a very important role in supplying food, water, and energy for the rest of Canada, and addressing the current labor shortage is critically important.

Which are Participating Communities In The Pilot?

The Rural and Northern communities participating in the program are:

  1. North Bay, Ontario
  2. Greater Sudbury, Ontario
  3. Timmins, Ontario
  4. Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
  5. Thunder Bay, Ontario
  6. Brandon, Manitoba
  7. Rhineland/ Plum Coulee/ Gretna / Altona, Manitoba
  8. Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
  9. Claresholm, Alberta
  10. Vernon, British Columbia
  11. West Kootenay (Trail, Castlegar, Rossland, Nelson), British Columbia

In order for you to be eligible for a Rural and Northern Immigration pilot community, certain requirements had to be met by each of the communities. The community required to have a population of 50,000 or less and be situated at least 75 km from a core of a metropolitan area or probably have a population of up to 200,000 people and be considered remote based on Statistics Canada’s index of remoteness.

The Community expects to be in Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan or Yukon. Furthermore, the community required an economic development plan, job opportunities, and a way of settling new immigrants into the community successfully.

This is a pilot program driven by the community which implies that the communities will be involved in the program actively. The Rural and Northern community will identify job opportunities in the local economy and search for applicants who match these jobs.

They will be searching for candidates who are not only qualified for the needs of a particular job but also have a genuine ambition to settle in the community. Also, the Rural and Northern community will be expected to work towards helping new immigrants relate with members of the community and support so that the new immigrants can successfully settle including helping to find cheap affordable Canadian Universities.

How Can I Apply for the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot?

Applications are anticipated to be live in the Fall of 2019 with the first new immigrants expected to arrive in their new Rural and Northern communities in 2020. Kindly click HERE to check on the application process for updates.
