RNIP

Pilot Overview

Canada’s Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) is a community-driven program designed with the intention of bringing skilled newcomers to the country’s rural communities, to back-fill labor shortages. Canada is set to accept more newcomers with each passing year, with the goal of reaching 390,000 new immigrants invited in 2021. Historically, the vast majority of new immigrants to Canada settle in major cities, with the likes of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. With the introduction of this pilot, the Canadian government hopes to spark the growth of economies and tackle labor shortage throughout the country. RNIP is the single most SIMPLE and EXPEDITIOUS form of obtaining Permanent Residency!
