The Moose Jaw Immigration Pilot, Step by Step

Open now

Closes October 16, 2026

4 days left — applications close at 16:00 on the last day.

The Rural Community Immigration Pilot as it actually works here: why an employer has to apply for you, which jobs the community has prioritised and which are already full, when the next intake window opens, and the money and language levels you need.

About these tools

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Moose Jaw and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

The two figures people get wrong

$10,507 in settlement funds for 1 person

Pick a tier to see the language level

Published amounts in force since July 29, 2025.

How many people are in your application?

Count yourself, your spouse or partner, and every dependent child — even the ones staying behind.

The skill tier of the job you are offered

Your employer or the job posting will say which tier the occupation sits in.

Who you have to count

Count yourself, your spouse or common-law partner, your dependent children and your partner's dependent children — including any who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, and any who are not moving to Canada with you.

When you do not need to show funds

You do not have to show settlement funds at all if you are already working in Canada on a valid work permit.

CLB is the Canadian Language Benchmark; NCLC is its French equivalent, at the same numbers. The level applies to each of the four abilities — reading, writing, listening and speaking — not to an average. Every page linked here is published in English and French only; if you are reading this in another language, the authority is still those pages.

Is your job on the community’s list?

25 occupations are on the list for this programme year, and 2 of them have already reached their limit.

Both have to match: your occupation code has to be on this list, and the business you work for has to be in one of the priority sectors. One without the other is not eligible.

Businesses already approved to use the pilot

Read this before you contact anyone on this list

The Chamber prints this notice above its own list: “Most designated employers use the RCIP to support individuals already employed by them and are not accepting new applications. Please do not mass email employers on this list. The best way to participate in the RCIP is to apply for actively advertised positions in the Moose Jaw region that match your skills and experience. Many successful applicants first secure local employment and the businesses hiring them are supported for designation later.”

The list exactly as it is published, August 2026. Names only: no sector, no vacancies and no contact details, because that is all the published list carries. The Chamber’s published list of designated employers (PDF)

A few of these businesses are not in Moose Jaw — Subway in Gravelbourg, Trifon’s and Assiniboia Family Foods in Assiniboia, Chaplin Grocery, Westrum Lumber in Rouleau. That is not a mistake in the list: the pilot’s boundary covers the wider Moose Jaw region, and the Chamber publishes a map of it. The area the pilot covers (map)
