Applying for permanent residence through Claresholm

A candidate first needs to fulfill the federal eligibility requirements to qualify for the RNIP in Claresholm including a minimum of one year of eligible work experience, language skills, education requirements, and enough funds and more.

After meeting federal criteria, candidates must complete their profiles on the webpage of the participating community. Moreover, they can apply for jobs listed in Claresholm RINP Portal; however, only three active applications are allowed at a single time. For that, they can withdraw their candidacy from applied position anytime for a better opportunity.

Upon receiving a job offer, the Claresholm RNIP recommends them for permanent residence in Canada. However, they need to apply for a Canada work permit while their PR applications are being processed.
