Rural & Northern Immigration Pilot

2019 witnessed the introduction of the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot, a program designed to draw in skilled workers and foster economic development in such regions. Communities in British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon are included in this program.

Canada is a nation renowned for welcoming an extensive number of immigrants. Nonetheless, the great majority of recent immigrants opt to settle in large cities like Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver due to the present immigration laws. In an effort to address this, the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot provides assistance to smaller towns in attracting newcomers and facilitating their settlement. Applications for participation in the pilot program are being accepted from governments in the north and rural areas.

The federal government has agreed to provide assistance to the communities in locating and choosing new applicants for permanent residence. It is anticipated that the arrivals will boost economic growth.

Launched in 2017, the Atlantic Immigration Pilot program (AIP) had success, which is now being built upon by this initiative. By connecting prospective immigrants with local firms, the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program aims to boost immigration to Canada's Atlantic region.

Communities Selected for the Pilot Program on Rural Immigration

Eleven communities have been chosen to take part in the trial as of June 2019. To test the pilot, these communities will receive a variety of supports and initiatives.

  • Thunder Bay
  • Sault-Ste-Marie
  • Sudbury
  • Timmins
  • North Bay
Manitoba
  • Gretna-Rhineland-Altona-Plum Coulee

Program Requirements - Communities

A community must be 50,000 or fewer people living at least 75 kilometers away from the center of a census metropolitan area, or 200,000 people living at least 75 kilometers away from other major cities, in order to be eligible to apply. Communities have to be found in one of the following territory or provinces :

  • Alberta
  • British Columbia
  • Manitoba
  • Northwest Territories
  • Nunavut

A local economic development group that is capable of overseeing the pilot program must endorse the economic development plan that each community submits. Communities must also show that they can assist in the settlement of newcomers and that they offer employment prospects for them.

Describe LMIA.

A document known as a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) serves as a kind of offer of employment confirmation.

Before hiring a foreign worker, Canadian employers may need to submit an LMIA application to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

A positive LMIA document, which includes information about the employer, employer business number, contract length, business number, occupation data, and employer information with LMIA document number, indicates that a foreign worker is required to fill the position.

Before hiring a temporary foreign worker, the majority of firms require an LMIA.

Depending on the sort of program you're hiring via, there are various LMIA application processes.

  • high-wage workers
  • low-wage workers
  • workers through the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program
  • workers through the Agricultural Stream

Once the LMIA is approved, (positive LMIA). Foreign worker needs to apply work permit to come to Canada.

Launched in 2017, the Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP) initiative invites qualified workers from around the world to Canada's Atlantic provinces in an attempt to boost economic growth.

  • New Brunswick
  • Newfoundland and Labrador

Employers are not obliged to undergo a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) in order to hire through the Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP). Rather, they must meet all conditions in order to be qualified to offer the employment.
