Vernon Individuals and Family Immigration

Do you want to immigrate to Canada?

Vernon is one of eleven communities in the Canadian province of British Columbia participating in the Rural and Northern Immigration Program. A large segment of the local population is nearing or has reached retirement age, and as Vernon continues to grow, skilled workers are needed to accommodate the expansion. Vernon’s economy is driven by agriculture, construction, tourism and manufacturing. The city’s economic goals include attracting entrepreneurial and skilled immigrants to invest, work, and live in the community.

Are you a skilled worker who wants to live in Canada? Applicants who meet Vernon’s criteria need to find full-time permanent employment. You will need to submit an application for recommendation and apply to the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) for permanent residence. Once you obtain your permanent residence, you and your family members will receive support for your settlement and community integration.
