The popularity of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program, in short AIPP, is on the rise ever since the Canadian government introduced it in 2017. This program opens up great options to those who are dreaming of migrating to Canada. The AIPP enables the nomination of skilled workers and fast-tracking their immigration process to one of the provinces in the Atlantic region of Canada – Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia.
What is AIPP?
Canada immigration applicants who have received job offers can apply for permanent residency under the AIPP while working in one of the Atlantic Provinces. These provinces have been very effective in leveraging the highly successful program and filling up AIPP immigration quotas. Further, the program’s success encouraged the Canadian Minister for immigration to increase the AIPP intake quota to 2,500 from 2,000 for the summer of 2018
Know Your Eligibility
As a skilled worker, you will become eligible to immigrate under AIPP only if you have received an employment offer from a designated employer. In addition, other specific eligibility criteria that you need to meet include education, work experience, and language proficiency. Further, the eligibility criteria may vary based on the AIPP stream chosen by you.
How Can You Get an Employment Offer?
You need to apply for a job based on employment opportunities advertised by AIPP designated Atlantic Canadian employers. Fortunately, the complete list of designated employers in the Atlantic region is available now.
You can start the immigration process as soon as you receive a job offer from one of the designated Atlantic employers. The endorsement phase collaboration with the employer and a settlement package that describes the personalized services you will receive on arrival in Canada also form part of the process.
You can expect to receive the nomination to apply for permanent residency in Canada once the province accords approval. Moreover, you will get a permit to start working in Canada while the processing of your application is on.
