Key selection facts

Fifteen percent of Brandon’s 2026 allocation is reserved for the health sector.
The remaining allocation is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
Priority sectors and occupations can be reviewed during the year as labour needs and allocations change.
Only designated employers can support a community recommendation application.

Review Brandon’s active priority sectors and occupations because the list can be updated during the year.

The employer must meet Brandon’s designation requirements and provide an eligible full-time, non-seasonal job offer.

The employer and candidate should assemble all required federal and community documents before submission.

Applications outside the healthcare reserve are handled from the remaining allocation on a first-come, first-served basis.

Healthcare applicants should still confirm that their occupation and employer meet current requirements.

Do not assume a sector remains open throughout the year; review the latest community update.

Ask the employer to verify allocation availability before final submission.

Community recommendation does not guarantee permanent residence. IRCC makes the final decision, and community intake rules can change without notice.
