Greater Sudbury Unveils Authorized Employers for Permanent Residency Programs under RCIP and FCIP
The City of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, has officially announced its list of authorized employers under the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) and the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot (FCIP)—two targeted programs designed to attract skilled foreign workers to regional communities. This update marks a significant development for individuals seeking Canadian permanent residency through regional employer sponsorship.
Pathways to Permanent Residency Through Community-Endorsed Employment
These immigration pathways allow foreign nationals to apply for permanent residence in Canada, provided they secure a job offer from an employer formally recognized under the pilot programs. In 2025, Greater Sudbury has been allocated 525 nomination slots under RCIP and 45 nomination slots under FCIP, highlighting the city’s active role in supporting labor market growth and demographic diversity.
