Community Scoring Grid

2026

All North Bay & Area RCIP applications are assessed using a point system. Only completed applications, which include a genuine Intent to Reside document written without the use of AI tools (which are strictly prohibited), will be assessed and placed in the candidate pool.

A completed application must meet a minimum overall score of 50 points by meeting the minimum score of 10 points for each eligibility factor: job offer, work experience, language, education, and intent to reside. The maximum score for a single eligibility factor is 25 points.
