Timmins RCIP Points Calculator 2026

Timmins weights its 2026 grid toward trades, natural resources and manufacturing (15 sector points each) over health and education (10). That is the reverse of most communities, and a clear picture of the local labour market. Demand forced a reset in mid-2026: since July 30 you need at least 79 points just to enter the pool, each employer can submit no more than four applications per intake, and no employer can receive more than five recommendations for the year. If your occupation is not on the priority list you still keep the sector points.

Intake status: Open. The last 2026 intake runs October 13 to 16.

Worth knowing

    How Timmins selects candidates

    Monthly intake windows. Since August 2026 there is no overall limit per intake, but each employer can submit at most 4 applications per intake and receive at most 5 recommendations in 2026.

    Pool entry score: 79. Applications below 79 are not considered at all, even though the federal minimum is 50.

    Since July 30, 2026, Timmins only places applications scoring 79 or more in its pool. Candidates already in the pool below 79 stay in until their withdrawal month.

    • If your occupation is not on the priority list you get 0 occupation points, but sector points still count.
    • June 2026 list changes: health information management (12111) and administrative assistants (13110) were removed; railway yard and track maintenance workers (74200) and nursery and greenhouse labourers (85103) were added. Bookkeepers (12200) now need a degree or diploma in accounting or bookkeeping.
    • Visitor-status candidates are not eligible. International students must graduate and hold status that lets them work full-time before applying.
