Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) – Your Pathway to Canadian Permanent Residency
Are you a skilled worker looking to
move to Canada and build a future in a welcoming, rural community? The Rural
Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) is a new Canadian immigration program
launched in 2025 that offers eligible foreign workers a direct pathway to permanent
residency in Canada.
RCIP is designed to help rural and
remote communities across Canada address critical labour shortages by
connecting them with international talent ready to settle and grow with them.
