Only employers working in at least one of these priority sectors can become approved (or “designated”) and hire workers through the RCIP or FCIP in Timmins.
Both the RCIP and FCIP are employer-driven. That means applicants must have a job offer from a designated employer to apply. Timmins has also posted rules for employers who want to be designated. A full list of approved employers will be shared soon. Other communities in these programs are also expected to release their priority occupation lists and employer names in the coming months.
Both programs began on January 30, 2025.
These programs offer a pathway to apply for Canada PR and LMIA-exempt work permits to workers who plan to live in these communities. In total, 18 communities across Canada are taking part.
To qualify, applicants must meet basic requirements such as work experience, education, language ability, settlement funds, and a genuine job offer. Each community has a local economic development organization that will work with IRCC to select employers, identify labour needs, and recommend candidates to apply for Canada PR.
