Sudbury's second consecutive immigration screening
The city sent out another batch of invitations.
Just recently, November 28, the City of Sudbury, Ontario, held its immigration draw, but that wasn't enough. On Nov. 30, another large batch of invitations was sent out — 31 in all.
28 of them were intended for applicants from the Conventional Stream, the passing score for them was set this time at 250 points — 5 points higher than the previous time.
In the main stream, the city considers candidates who have received a job offer in one of the eligible occupations. The list includes specialties in the fields 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.
A further 3 invitations were given to applicants from the Francophone Stream. The applicant with the lowest score scored only 160 points. This low score is very good news for all applicants with knowledge of French.
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.
Sudbury runs its shenanigans under the Rural and Northern Immigration Program of Canada (RNIP). It was created to connect foreign workers with Canadian employers from labor shortage communities. These selections have been in place since 2020, and similar draws are being conducted by 10 other communities across Canada.
