Sudbury RCIP Points Calculator 2026

Greater Sudbury runs the most competitive points pool in the Rural Community Immigration Pilot. The published minimum is 50 points, but since early 2026 you need 79 just to enter the candidate pool, and monthly draws take the highest scorers first. Health, natural resources and trades job offers carry the most sector points, and registered early childhood educators get the biggest single occupation bonus in the grid.
