On January 2, 2025, the Regional Economic Development through Immigration (REDI) pilot launched for a one-year term. The pilot sets aside 200 nominations from the OINP’s Employer Job Offer streams for each partner community, addressing specific regional immigration needs
The REDI pilot offers a pathway to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers with a job offer who want to live and work in a participating community including Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, Sarnia-Lambton, and Thunder Bay.
There is no separate application process for the pilot. Applicants with job offers from Ontario employers in one of the designated pilot communities should apply through the standard OINP Expression of Interest (EOI) system, and would be eligible for targeted pilot draws.
