How are Applications Processed?
RCIP: The Sudbury RCIP Program ranks applications in a pool using a points-based system. Complete applications meeting the eligibility requirements / minimum score of 50 points required will be placed into the Candidate Pool.
Click here to view the Sudbury RCIP Community Scoring Grid.
FCIP: The Sudbury FCIP Program operates on a first-in, first-out basis. Complete eligible applications will receive a recommendation in the order they are received, until all recommendations have been allocated.
Tie-breaking rule: If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the complete application that was submitted earliest will receive the recommendation.
Applications not selected for a recommendation will remain in the pool and considered for all draws, for up to 6 months. Applications will not be considered if they are incomplete or do not meet federal eligibility requirements. It is up to employers to ensure they meet the program requirements and that their application is complete.
