Moose Jaw RCIP 2026: Requirements & Pass/Fail Intake Rules
Moose Jaw judges applications pass/fail against the federal requirements — there is no scoring grid and no way to 'outscore' anyone. Up to twelve recommendations go out per monthly intake, the queue opens at 8:00 a.m. on day one, and an application with a single missing document goes back to the employer and loses its place in line. Here, a perfect file submitted early beats a brilliant profile submitted at noon.
