How RCIP works in Brandon (step-by-step)

1. Secure a full-time, non-seasonal job offer from a Brandon RCIP-designated employer.

2. Employer prepares and submits your community recommendation package to the Brandon RCIP office (you don’t submit this part yourself).

3. If recommended by Brandon, you submit your permanent residence (PR) application to IRCC.

4. Optional work permit while PR is processing: with a community recommendation and PR submitted, you may be eligible for a 2-year, employer-specific, LMIA-exempt RCIP work permit (your employer files their Employer Portal offer; you apply for the permit).
