Following yesterdayβs brief update on the
Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP), weβre excited to share that the North
OkanaganβShuswap region in British Columbia has now officially launched its
RCIP webpage, complete with detailed program guidelines.
π rcipnorthokanaganshuswap.com
π About the Program
As with other RCIP communities, applicants
must first meet the federal RCIP eligibility criteria:
- Education: Minimum high school diploma
- Work Experience: At least 1 year (1,560 hours) of
related experience within the last 3 years, or a credential earned in the
designated community
- Language Proficiency: CLB score required based on
TEER category
- Job Offer: From an eligible employer in the
community
- Intent to Reside: Demonstrated intention to settle in
the community
π Additional
Requirements for North OkanaganβShuswap
This region adds further requirements to
ensure the quality and sustainability of immigration:
- Wage Requirement: Job offers must meet or exceed the
communityβs published wage for the applicable NOC
- Points System: Applicants must score at least 50
points (out of 125) to be placed in the community pool
Importantly, not all positions are eligible.
Only occupations officially published by the community are accepted. These are
divided into five sectors:
- Health
- Education, Law and Social, Community and Government
Services
- Sales and Services
- Trades and Transport
- Manufacturing and Utilities
A total of 25 eligible occupations
have been released, each with a corresponding minimum wage.
The general minimum wage is $22/hour, while positions like restaurant
managers have a higher minimum of $25/hour.
π Notable Occupations
The following occupations are particularly
worth noting:
- Early Childhood Educators (ECE)
- Restaurant Managers
- Bookkeepers
- Hairstylists
- Executive Housekeepers
- Administrative Assistants
Itβs also interesting to see a high number
of accounting and finance-related roles included.
For the fast food sector, the
community has capped recommendations at 40 per year, with a limit of 2
per individual employer (RHDYN).
π’ Employer
Requirements
The employerβs role is crucial in this
pilot. To be eligible, employers must:
- Have operated the same business in the community for at
least two years
- Provide a full-time, stable work environment
- Complete two short online training modules
(self-directed and can be finished within a day)
After completing the modules, employers can
request to be registered by emailing the program administrator. Once approved,
theyβll receive a designation number, which is essential for
participation in the RCIP process.
