North Bay RCIP Points Calculator 2026

North Bay & Area flattened its 2026 grid on purpose: every priority sector is worth 15 points and every listed occupation is worth 10, so your human capital does the ranking. Two rules stand out. All fast food and retail jobs are excluded, including convenience stores and gas stations. And the intent-to-reside statement must be written without AI tools — the community says so explicitly and checks.
