A city in Ontario has invited applicants to apply for permanent residency
Sudbury's own prank took place.
The City of Sudbury in the province of Ontario has once again held its immigration drawings. The drawings are being held as part of the Rural and Northern Immigration Program of Canada (RNIP). It was created to connect foreign workers with Canadian employers from labor shortage communities.
On November 8, 30 candidates who scored 255 marks and above were selected. In the previous selection October 13, the pass mark was slightly lower.
Sudbury points are awarded for age (as opposed to Express Entry advantage for the 30-45 age group), work experience, knowledge of French in addition to English, and occupational demand. There are some other requirements for candidates.
The City is considering candidates who have received a job offer in one of the eligible occupations. The list includes specialties in the areas of:
- management;
- business, finance and administration;
- natural and applied sciences;
- health care;
- education;
- catering;
- tourism and hospitality business;
- agriculture;
- production and utility services and so on.
A full list of occupations is available on Sudbury's official website.
Sudbury has held its selections under this program since 2020, with similar drawings taking place in 10 other communities across Canada.
