A new Immigration Program introduced for Atlantic Canadian employers is a 3-year pilot program that helps in filling labour gaps. The program is called Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP). It will run until December 2019. As quoted by mondaq.com, it might be extended further.
The AIP is presently the best option for
Immigrants willing to move to Nova Scotia. Employers will provide them with job
offers and settlement support. Canada
has confirmed that every year they will accept 2000 applications. Nova
Scotia is allotted 1000 applications under this program.
The AIP consists of 3 programs:
- The Atlantic
High-skilled Program - The Atlantic
Intermediate-skilled Program - The Atlantic
International Graduate Program
The Atlantic Skilled Workers Program:
The following criteria must be met in order to be
eligible for the program -
- Immigrants must
have worked for a minimum of 1 year - The work must be
paid and in one occupation - Immigrants must
possess skill level 0, A, B or C of the Occupational Classification list - Immigrants must
show that they have either a Canadian post-secondary diploma or high school
degree
There are a number of advantages of the AIP
program for Immigrants. Let’s have a quick look at them -
- Immigrants’ work
experience can be inside or outside Canada - Skill level C is usually not accepted by any
other Immigration Programs in Canada - The minimum
language level required to be eligible for the AIP is CLB level 4
The Atlantic International Graduates Program:
Immigrants applying under this category must meet
below criteria -
- They need a
minimum of a 2-year degree from a recognized institution in an Atlantic
Canadian province - Immigrants must
have been a full-time student in Canada for at least 2 years - They must have
lived in one of the Atlantic Provinces for a minimum of 16 months
Overseas Students
willing to move to Nova Scotia should avail of this option to attain Canada PR
in the future.
Mandatory criteria:
The following mandatory criteria apply to both
the programs and employers -
- Immigrants must
hold a job offer from an employer in one of the Atlantic Canadian Provinces - The employer must
be designated and eligible under the AIP program - Employers need to
