St-Pierre-Jolys, a village in Manitoba located 50 kilometres southeast of Winnipeg, has released the priority sectors and occupations it is targeting under the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot (FCIP) in 2026.
This year, one new sector and 10 new occupations have been deemed in demand by St-Pierre-Jolys, and 10 occupations have been removed from the priority list.
To obtain permanent residence (PR) and settle in St-Pierre-Jolys, foreign nationals are required to have a qualifying job offer and meet minimum French-language proficiency requirements.
Which sectors is St-Pierre-Jolys prioritizing in 2026?
This year, St-Pierre-Jolys is prioritizing the following six sectors under the FCIP:
- Health;
- Education, law and social, community and government services;
- Sales and services;
- Business, finance and administration;
- Trades, transport and equipment operators; and
- Natural resources, agriculture and related production.
The sectors above are listed based on order of priority, with “Education, law and social, community and government services” and “Sales and services” being of equal priority.
These sectors largely mirror those selected in 2025, with the “Natural resources, agriculture and related production” sector being a new addition (2025: five sectors vs 2026: six sectors).
This sector expansion is likely attributable to a wave of interest in the FCIP among employers in this sector, as well as a need to fill labour gaps in related occupations.
