the rural and northern immigration pilot (RNIP) is a new program launched in June 2019 aimed at strengthening smaller communities, especially those in rural areas. Employers in participating communities will have the opportunity to post-employment offers. Skilled and non-skilled foreigners who are looking to work and live in these rural areas in Canada will be able to apply to these positions and should you be successful, the employer can then recommend you to the government for permanent residence.

Due to warning birth rates and early retirement, Canada is urgently looking for skilled and qualified individuals. Although there is a high number of immigrants moving to the GREAT WHITE NORTH, almost 70% of immigrants settle in the urban provinces such as Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia, leaving large gaps in rural communities.

The factor that most immigrants forget to take into consideration is that while opportunities in the urban areas may seem more lucrative, they also come with a substantially high cost of living, 

Secondly, given the undisputed preference for urban hubs by not only skilled foreigners but young native professionals, there is also significantly more competition for opportunities. The hidden benefit for seeking employment in the rural or smaller communities is that no one is available to fill the gaps, there is high demand, and obviously higher demand means a higher salary.
