Rural & Northern Immigration Pilot Program

/in , /by

The New Canada immigration Program: Rural & Northern Immigration pilot is progressing towards implementation before the end of the year 2019.

The program was initially unveiled in Jan 2019, and smaller towns/communities in the selected provinces of Canada were invited to take part based on the requirements set out by the IRCC (Immigration Refugees & Citizenship Canada)

The communities approved in the new pilot program are as follows –

Ontario

  • North Bay
  • Sudbury
  • Timmins
  • Sault St. Marie
  • Thunder Bay

Manitoba

  • Brandon
  • Rhineland/Plum Coulee /Gretna/Altona

Saskatchewan

  • Moose Jaw

Alberta

  • Claresholm

British Columbia

  • Vernon
  • West Kootenay (Trail, Castlegar, Rossland, Nelson)

In this program, the employers based in the above-mentioned communities will be able to recruit applicants internationally with the help of community heads. Those applicants who get the job offer from the employer will be able to apply to the community for the endorsement letter ( support letter) to apply for the permanent residency in Canada and the applicant will also get the work permit support letter to apply for the worker visa while the PR application is being processed to facilitate the early joining of work by the applicant, if required by the employer. It is similar to the model of Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program which is currently applicable to only 4 provinces which are Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland & Labrador.

The more details about the program- any specific requirement of IRCC towards the applicant/employer is expected to release by end of the year 2019 and the program is expected to go live at the same time.

Isn’t the PNP program is a boon to ratchet up your CRS ranking? we are talking about 600 CRS score which is given to those who are in possession of Provincial Nomination from the province which may lead to Canada permanent residency.

 

Let’s highlight the “The Province of Alberta” who have considered 3300 plus applicants & given the Notification of Interest to invite these applicants to apply for Provincial Nomination in the year 2019 alone. Upon receiving the Notification of interest (or Invitation) from the Alberta province, the applicants get 30 days duration to submit a complete application with all the required documents for the review by Alberta program. The applicant may receive the result with the Provincial Nomination letter which supports in boosting the CRS score by 600 points & place the applicant in the front line to be selected by Federal government to apply for Permanent residency.

 

Caveats: The following scenarios will decrease your likelihood of being considered by the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program

 

– If you have CRS score of below 301

– if your occupation is matching to Alberta opportunity stream ineligible list

– If your occupation is  on the list of High-wage and low-wage occupations in the province of Alberta set out on the online Government of Canada Refusal to Process a Labour Market Impact Assessment list

My CRS score is below 350, How to increase CRS score in Express Entry application

/in /by

Change in eligibility points requirement AINP (Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program) started sending NOI (Notification of Interest) to the prospective applicants through AINP (Express Entry Linked stream) in 2019.

On March 5, 2019, the program has sent the NOI’s to our few clients. The total no of applicants Notified by AINP is yet to publish.

The applicants who received the NOI may probably submit the application to AINP for nomination. The AINP will then review the applications submitted & may nominate the applicant by providing Nomination letter.

The Nominated applicant will get 600 CRS points in the express entry which may put the applicant in the forefront to receive the ITA (Invitation letter) to apply for permanent residency.

Qualifying Criteria

• Must be applied in Express entry in Federal Skilled Worker Program.
• CRS score of 301 plus
• The occupation must not be in Non-eligible list, if your occupation falls in the non-eligible list, this will reduce the chances of receiving NOI by AINP.
