What is Rural Northern Immigration Pilot Program (RNIP) Visa?
The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot is a community-driven program. It’s designed to spread the benefits of economic immigration to smaller communities by creating a path to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers who want to work and live in one of the Participating Community.
