The programme aims to attract skilled foreign workers to smaller Canadian communities facing labour shortages and support their economic growth.

Key Highlights:

• 5,500 permanent resident admissions targeted for 2027.

• 14 participating communities across six Canadian provinces.

• Opportunities for eligible skilled foreign workers and international graduates.

• A qualifying job offer from a designated employer is mandatory.

• Community recommendation is required.

• Applicants must meet the applicable education, work experience and language requirements.
