To apply for PR through RCIP, you must:
Valid Job Offer: You must have a valid job offer from a designated employer in the community.
Work Experience: You need at least 1 year (1,560 hours) of related work experience within the past 3 years. The work experience must match the job field and duties (NOC/TEER level).
Work Experience Exemption: If you studied and graduated in the community, work experience may not be required.
Language Proficiency: You must prove your language abilities by taking an approved language test.
Educational Credentials: You must have a Canadian educational credential or the foreign equivalent. If your education is from outside Canada, you may need an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA).
Proof of Funds: You must show proof of sufficient funds to support yourself and your family when transitioning to the community.
Community Recommendation: You must obtain an official letter of recommendation from the community, confirming your intention to settle and your alignment with local needs.
✅ Job Offer Requirements (with Examples)
To qualify for the RCIP, your job offer must:
Be full-time (30+ hours/week)
Be permanent (no end date)
Coming from an approved employer in a participating community (e.g., Moose Jaw)
Match or align with your work experience (NOC duties and TEER level)
Offer a wage at or above the local wage for that job “depends on community”
Match the official NOC job description
💼 Example 1: Job Offer That Meets the Requirements
Applicant’s Experience:
Job Title: Software Engineer
NOC: 21231
TEER Level: 1
Experience: 2 years of full-time experience in the last 3 years
Job Offer:
Position: Web Developer (NOC 21234, TEER 1)
Location: Moose Jaw
Hours: 40 hours/week
Type: Permanent
Wage: Meets local standard
Duties: Web design, coding, back-end development (matches NOC duties)
✅ Result: This offer is valid — it's in the same field, TEER level matches, and all conditions are met.
❌ Example 2: Job Offer That Does Not Meet the Requirements
Applicant’s Experience:
Job Title: Software Engineer (TEER 1)
Experience: 3 years
Job Offer:
Position: Farm Labourer (NOC 85100, TEER 5)
Location: Moose Jaw
Type: Permanent, full-time
Duties: Feeding animals, cleaning barns
❌ Result: Why it’s invalid:
The job offer is in a completely different field
TEER 5 is too far from the applicant’s TEER 1 experience
For TEER 5 jobs, the work experience must match exactly (same 5-digit NOC), which it doesn't
