Brandon, Manitoba Reveals Designated Employers for Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP)

ICC Immigration Inc > Blogs > Announcement > Brandon, Manitoba Reveals Designated Employers for Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP)

Brandon, the second-largest city in Manitoba, has recently announced its list of designated employers for the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) — a promising opportunity for skilled workers seeking permanent residency (PR) in Canada. With a strong emphasis on employer-driven immigration, the RCIP offers a streamlined and community-focused route for eligible foreign nationals to make Brandon their long-term home.

🌎 What is the Brandon RCIP?

The Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) is a federal immigration program tailored for smaller Canadian communities like Brandon that face labour shortages. Under this initiative, eligible candidates with a valid job offer from a designated employer in the Brandon RCIP area can apply for permanent residence in Canada.

The RCIP community boundaries span a 25 km radius around Brandon, covering surrounding areas like Brandon Hills, Chater, Cornwalis, and Riverdale.

🔍 Key Benefit: RCIP is LMIA-exempt (Labour Market Impact Assessment), making the process faster and less complex for both employers and applicants.

🏢 Official List of Designated Employers (as of July 2025)

Here are the approved employers under Brandon RCIP:

  • Brandon Clinic (Family & Specialist Physicians – must be licensed or pursuing licensure in Canada)

  • Gateway Mechanical Services Inc.

  • Glendale Industries Limited

  • Keller Developments

  • Koch Fertilizer Canada ULC

  • Kumon Brandon

  • Maple Leaf Foods

  • Modular Industrial Structures Brandon (MISB)

  • Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) (Only the Brandon location is approved)

  • Saputo Dairy Products Canada G.P.

  • The Wellness Clinic (Hiring for health-related roles; licensure required or in progress)

  • Walsh Construction

Note: This list is subject to updates. Candidates are encouraged to check regularly for newly added employers.

✅ Who Can Apply?

To be eligible for the Brandon RCIP, you must:

  • Have a valid job offer from a designated employer in a priority occupation.

  • Possess relevant work experience or qualify under the international graduate exemption.

  • Meet language proficiency requirements (e.g., CLB 4+).

  • Have your educational credentials evaluated and approved.

  • Show proof of settlement funds for yourself and accompanying family members.

If you meet all criteria, Brandon may issue you a recommendation certificate, which allows you to apply to IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) for permanent residence.

🔑 Why Consider Brandon RCIP?

  • High-demand jobs with real employers in a growing city.

  • A clear, community-supported path to permanent residency.

  • LMIA-exempt work permits available while your PR is processed.

  • Supportive environment with access to health, education, and community services.

This pilot is ideal for skilled workers looking to settle in a vibrant, welcoming Canadian city that values community development and workforce growth.
