This episode describes the Claresholm Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP), an employer-driven economic immigration program designed to address labor shortages and promote long-term settlement in Claresholm, Alberta, and its 25 km surrounding boundary, which includes Granum and Stavely. The program allocates 30 spots for 2025, released incrementally, and targets specific priority sectors and occupations like Health Care and Manufacturing. It outlines eligibility requirements for foreign nationals, including job offers from designated employers and verification of settlement funds by IRCC, while emphasizing that employers are responsible for recruitment and application submission on behalf of candidates. The sources also detail the application process, available settlement services, and warn against illegal fees.
