The Government of Canada has started a new community-driven program named Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot. This program is designed for smaller communities to attract skilled foreign workers or international students to work and live in those communities.
This program will help the participating communities to meet local labor market needs. Also, the newcomer is accepted to contribute to the economic development of those communities. This program was launched in early 2019 after the success of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot program.
