There is no doubt about the increase of Immigrants into the Canadian provinces over the last few years. Moreover, each province has its own program in the Provincial Nominee Programs in which provinces comes up with different programs to attract aspiring Immigrants. Such is the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).
Originally launched in 2017 as the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program has brought 10,000 Permanent Residence Immigrants to the province. Seeing the success of the program, the Canadian government made the decision to make it permanent in 2021. The new permanent program which was renamed as Atlantic Immigration Program was officially opened on March 6, 2022. As part of the Atlantic Growth Strategy, It is an employer-driven program, designed to fill labour shortages in the Canadian Atlantic provinces: New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Atlantic Immigration Program is a pathway to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers who want to work and live in 1 of Canada’s 4 Atlantic Provinces. The program helps employers hire qualified candidates for jobs they haven’t been able to fill locally.
To be able to apply under the AIP, you must –
-Intend to settle in Atlantic Canada,
-Be a skilled worker
-Have a 1-year work experience
-Minimum Bachelor’s Degree
-IELTS test required
The processing time for AIP applications is 6 months. The applicant must file the PR application within six months of getting the endorsement certificate.
The most exciting benefit of this program is that employers that need to fill an immediate job vacancy have access to a temporary work permit, so the skilled immigrant can come and work right away while waiting for the application to be processed.
