Canada’s Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, on Wednesday March 6, 2024, announced new Canada immigration pilots for rural and francophone minority communities. This Rural Community Immigration Pilot will be fully in effect by fall 2024.
The immigration minister also stated the importance of the RNIP (Rural Northern Immigration Pilot) and its success.
As of the end of January, the minister emphasized that 5,158 newcomers obtained permanent residency through this pathway, with approximately 87% of respondents from surveys indicating that they remained in these communities.
IRCC is working towards adding more communities to be included in this program with the goal to guarantee that programs that alleviate labour shortages and assist local businesses in finding the labour they require will still be available in rural regions.
The programs will offer pathways to permanent residence for new comers who would want to settle down in these rural communities permanently and are also able to meet their urgent labour shortages. The francophone program also aims to ensure the development of francophone minority towns and increase the number of French speaking immigrants settling in these communities outside of Quebec.
The IRCC will commence the community application process this spring for the communities participating in the pilots. Further details will be provided in the months ahead.

On February 13, 2024, the Canadian province of Quebec started issuing an updated letter attesting to the issuance of the Quebec acceptance certificate for studies. This letter enables candidates to apply for a study permit in accordance to the Federal government’s instructions which were released on January 22, 2024.

As of March 4, 2024, British Columbia has initiated the issuance of Provincial Attestation Letters (PAL). PAL is a verificaton letter provided to institutions by the provincial government, which then distribute it to international applicants.
International students wishing to study in the province are required to include PAL, received from the British Columbia government, along with their study permit application. This serves as evidence of their acceptance into a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) within the province.
Following the announcement of the cap for intake of international students in 2024 by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), British Columbia has been allocated a total of 83,000 undergraduate study permit applications by IRCC. The province highlights that, according to past acceptance rates, the federal government anticipates approximately 50,000 approved study permit applications for 2024 as a result. The province stated that letters will be distributed 53% for public institutions and 47% for private institutions.
This requirement by IRCC does not affect primary and secondary students, master’s and doctoral degree students, students already in Canada with a valid study permit or Canada work permit holders and their in-Canada family members, also students already in Canada applying for an extension as well as students whose application was received before 8:30am EST on January 22, 2024 before the announcement on cap for study permit applications was made by IRCC.
British Columbia is leading the way as the first province to initiate the issuance of attestation letters as the deadline provided by IRCC is March 31, 2024.
