On March 22, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC ) introduced the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) to help smaller communities attract and retain skilled workers. As a first step, individual communities needed to determine priority sectors to support immigration pathways for workers in their regions. These sectors have now been determined for most communities and it is up to employers to seek participation in the pilot program. As initially announced, employers will play a central role in the RCIP program.
On March 22, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced the launch of two new immigration pilots aimed at strengthening rural and Francophone minority communities across the country. These initiatives—the Rural Community Immigration Pilot and the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot—are designed to attract and retain skilled newcomers who can help local economies thrive.
