Brandon, Manitoba: Employers for Rural PR Visa Sponsorship
Brandon, Manitoba, has just announced its designated employers for the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP). This initiative offers a pathway for eligible international workers to gain permanent residency in Canada.
Located just outside Winnipeg, Brandon is the second-largest city in Manitoba. The RCIP covers a 25km radius around the city, including areas like Brandon Hills, Chater, Cornwalis, and Riverdale.
The RCIP focuses on connecting eligible foreign nationals with job opportunities from designated employers in the community. If you get a job offer from one of these employers, you can apply for Canadian permanent residency (PR).

Who Can Apply for the Brandon RCIP?
To be eligible for the RCIP, you need a job offer from an approved employer, and that job must fit within Brandon’s priority occupations. Besides that, candidates should meet several specific eligibility criteria:
- Relevant work experience or qualifications for the international graduate exemption.
- Language proficiency requirements.
- Educational credential requirements.
- Demonstration of sufficient financial resources to support yourself and any family members.
If you check all these boxes, you could receive a certificate of recommendation from Brandon and can apply for PR through the federal government. Additionally, you might be eligible for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)-exempt work permit while your PR application is being processed. An LMIA is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada that assesses the impact of hiring foreign workers on the Canadian job market.
