Permanent Residence
Rural community immigration and renewal streams
Rural and community-driven programs connect employers in smaller communities with candidates who intend to settle there long term.
Overview
Understanding rural & community immigration
Community-based streams typically involve an employer, a designated community and a recommendation or endorsement step before a federal application.
We explain what each participating community expects, review your eligibility and prepare documentation for both the community and federal stages.
Immigration programs, requirements, processing procedures and timelines may change. Visitors should verify current requirements through official Government of Canada sources or discuss their individual circumstances with a qualified professional.
