what is THE Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot Program (RNIP)?

To support employers in Northern and Rural Canada, and to increase the population, the government has introduced RNIP to five provinces in Canada. Even though five provinces participate in the program, the program is only applicable to certain communities within those provinces. Under RNIP, a total of 11 communities participate in this pilot program. The five participating provinces are Alberta, British Colombia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. Obtaining a job offer is a mandatory requirement for a foreign national to become eligible under the program.
