Submit a recommendation to your community
Once you’ve offered a job to a candidate, you need to complete a recommendation application and send it to the community.
The recommendation application requires you to
- show that you haven’t been able to fill the job with someone locally
- show that the job offer meets the pilot requirements
- confirm that the candidate meets all of the requirements for the pilot
- commit to connecting your candidate with immigrant settlement services in your community
You don’t need a labour market impact assessment.
Submit the application
Contact your community directly to learn how to submit your application.

Once you submit it, they’ll confirm that the candidate meets all of the requirements. If you have any questions, contact your community directly.
If your community recommends the application
If your community approves, they’ll send a recommendation certificate to the candidate. Once the candidate gets their recommendation certificate, they can apply for permanent residence.
