Claresholm in Alberta has started accepting applications through the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot from 11^th February.

The town of Claresholm is one and half hour drive from Calgary. Claresholm will recommend up to 20 families for Canada PR in 2020.

Here are the five communities that will be accepting applications under the RNIP:

• Claresholm, Alberta
• Brandon, Manitoba
• Vernon, British Columbia

The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot aims to support communities that are struggling with labour shortages. The pilot will help connect employers in these communities with skilled immigrants to help fill in the skill gaps.

Eligible candidates must have a permanent, full-time job offer in any one of the communities participating in the RNIP.

• North Bay, Ontario
• Thunder Bay, Ontario
• Sudbury, Ontario
• Timmins, Ontario
• Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
• West Kootenay (Trail, Rossland, Castlegar, Nelson), British Columbia

If you are interested in applying for a recommendation through the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot, you must first meet the federal eligibility criteria. You must have at least one year of relevant work experience. You also must meet the education and language requirements. Also, you must prove that you have enough funds to support yourself among other eligibility requirements.

If you meet the federal eligibility requirements, you may then proceed to create a profile on the RNIP portal of Claresholm. Once you have created your profile, you can then apply for various jobs listed on the portal. You will be allowed to have three active applications at any time. You will also be allowed to withdraw if you get a better opportunity. However, it is highly recommended that you only apply to jobs that match your education and work experience.
