The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) is an initiative designed to ensure that the smaller communities in Canada can reap the benefits of economic immigration. The RNIP offers the opportunity for permanent residency for skilled foreign workers wanting to work and live in one of the 11 participating communities.
The Canadian Immigration Services announced the RNIP program in January 2019 to help resolve the labor market demands of the smaller communities.
With the Canadian population aging and the birth rate coming down, there is a massive decrease in the number of workers in rural Canada. The RNIP program aims to attract people the country needs to push economic growth in these communities.
