Skilled Newcomer Career Loan Program

The Skilled Newcomer Career Loan (SNCL) is designed to help skilled newcomers living in the Nipissing District upgrade their credentials so they can get back to work in their field while living in Ontario. Please note, this loan is not related to the Rural and Northern Ontario Immigration Pilot Project. 

How much money is available?

The SNCL offers up to $5,000 for eligible applicants; eligibility criteria and terms of the loan will be discussed at time of intake. This loan is paid back over 3 years with interest-only payments for the first year to make the upgrading process as easy as possible.
