Immigrate

There are different ways to apply to immigrate to Canada depending on whether you plan to come to Canada temporarily to work, visit or study, or if you are planning to move to Canada permanently. Whatever your reason for relocation may be, you will need to decide which immigration program will work best for you and your family.

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada provides information on the different types of applications, eligibility requirements, and other steps that an individual needs to take when planning to immigrate to Canada and will help you choose the best way to apply.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) provides information for foreign workers, international students, business owners or entrepreneurs from outside of Canada on how to apply for permanent residence in Ontario.

Timmins was selected as one of 11 communities across Canada to participate in the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP), a permanent residence program for skilled foreign workers who want to work and live in one of the participating communities.
