Practical order

Select one current FCIP community and review its official sectors, employers, recommendation intake and settlement expectations.
- 2
The employer confirms current community designation and prepares the written occupation, duties, wage, hours, location, duration and applicant details required by FCIP.
- 3
Prepare accepted French-language results plus education/ECA, work, passport, status, family, funds and community-intent records required by the current pilot.
- 4
Submit the community’s current recommendation application with the designated offer and candidate evidence and retain every local confirmation or request.
- 5
If recommended, compare applicant, employer, occupation, community, conditions and validity with the planned federal case and open the current FCIP checklist.
- 6
Prepare the recommendation, offer, French, education, work, civil, family, police and medical records, pay IRCC directly and submit in the applicant’s own account.
