A Korean Family’s Journey to Canadian Permanent Residency Through RNIP

Finding a New Home in Canada

For Jisoo and Minho K., moving to Canada wasn’t just about career growth—it was about building a better future for their two children. Living in Seoul, South Korea, they had stable jobs but wanted a slower-paced, family-friendly environment with better work-life balance and opportunities for their kids.

With high competition in Express Entry and PNP programs, they were looking for a realistic pathway to permanent residency (PR) when they discovered the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP). With our support, they successfully immigrated to Canada and started a new chapter in their lives.

Why RNIP? A Family-Friendly Immigration Pathway

Jisoo had been working as an accounting assistant, while Minho was a mechanical technician in Korea. They both had solid work experience, but their Express Entry points were not high enough to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for PR.

After exploring alternative options, they found RNIP, which allows rural communities in Canada to select skilled foreign workers for permanent residency. They realized that many smaller communities needed workers with their skills, so they decided to apply.

However, the process seemed complicated, and they weren’t sure where to start—that’s when they reached out to us.

How We Helped Jisoo & Minho Through RNIP

Once Jisoo and Minho contacted us, we guided them through every step of the RNIP process, ensuring their application was strong and well-prepared.

✅ Job Search & Employer Matching

  • After reviewing their resumes and skill sets, we helped them apply to jobs in Vernon, British Columbia, an RNIP-designated community.
  • Within three months, Minho secured a full-time job offer as a mechanical technician at a manufacturing company, while Jisoo found an accounting position at a local firm.

✅ Community Recommendation Application

  • We helped them prepare the required documents to apply for a community recommendation, an essential step in the RNIP process.
  • Since both of them had in-demand skills and a genuine intent to settle in Vernon, they received their recommendation letter quickly.

✅ Permanent Residency Application & Documentation Support

  • We ensured their PR application to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) was complete and error-free, minimizing delays.
  • Required documents we helped them prepare included:
    • Job offer letters from their Canadian employers
    • Community recommendation letter from Vernon
    • Proof of work experience from Korea
    • IELTS language test results
    • Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for their degrees
  • Their application was processed in nine months, and they received approval for permanent residency! 

Settling into Their New Life in Canada

Moving to a new country with two young children was both exciting and challenging, but our settlement support services helped them transition smoothly.

🏡 Housing Assistance – We helped them find a family-friendly rental home in Vernon before they arrived.
💼 Employment Orientation – Minho’s employer provided onboarding support, while we assisted Jisoo in understanding Canadian workplace culture.
🗣️ Language Training – Jisoo enrolled in local English classes to improve her fluency.
