Timmins, Ontario continues to participate in the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP), locally branded as the RCIP (Rural and Community Immigration Program). In 2025, the program focuses on attracting skilled foreign workers through targeted occupations listed under specific NOC (National Occupation Classification) codes.
This guide from CITRN, a licensed Canadian immigration and recruitment firm, outlines the approved RCIP Timmins NOC codes for 2025, priority sectors, and what you need to know as an employer or applicant. Whether you're looking to hire internationally or seeking permanent residence in Timmins, understanding these occupation codes is the first step.
What Are NOC Codes?
NOC (National Occupation Classification) codes are the standardized system used by the Canadian government to classify jobs based on duties and skill levels. Under the RCIP/RNIP program, only certain NOC codes are approved each year to meet the specific labor needs of participating communities.
Each NOC code is now aligned with the TEER (Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities) system, introduced in 2021. This ensures more accurate matching between job roles and applicant qualifications.
RCIP Timmins: Program Overview
The RCIP in Timmins is a community-driven immigration pilot that enables eligible local employers to hire foreign workers for in-demand jobs. The Timmins Economic Development Corporation and local stakeholders set yearly NOC priorities based on labor market shortages and regional economic goals.
Only applicants with valid job offers in approved NOC codes are eligible to apply for community recommendation and eventually permanent residency.
