Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot: apply for a community recommendation

We’re no longer accepting new applications
The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot ended on August 31, 2024.
We’ll continue to process applications we received on or before this date.
If you’re eligible, you can still apply for a work permit so you can work while we process your application.
Each community has its own recommendation process.
Community websites will tell you

When applying to a community for recommendation, you’ll be asked to provide supporting documents.
