Why should I apply for AIP?
Applying for the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) offers several compelling reasons for skilled workers, international graduates, and intermediate skilled workers to consider this unique immigration pathway
1
Regional Pathway to Permanent Residency
The AIP provides a dedicated route to attain permanent residency in Canada's Atlantic Provinces, including New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. If you have a desire to settle and establish your future in one of these vibrant and culturally rich provinces, the AIP is designed for you.
2
Employer Support and Endorsement
The AIP operates under an employer-driven model, where designated employers in the Atlantic region can endorse eligible candidates for permanent residency. Having an employer's endorsement significantly boosts your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score in the Express Entry system, increasing your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.
3
No LMIA Required
Unlike other immigration pathways that often require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), the AIP streamlines the process by eliminating the need for LMIA. This means you can proceed with your application without the complexities and delays associated with the traditional LMIA process
4
Fast-Track to Permanent Residency
The AIP aims to attract and retain skilled workers and graduates who can contribute to the economic growth and development of the Atlantic Provinces. With the support of an employer and a provincial endorsement, your application process can be expedited, potentially leading to a faster transition to permanent residency.
5
Opportunities in High-Demand Industries
The Atlantic region has a diverse and growing economy with demand for skilled workers across various industries, including technology, healthcare, engineering, and more. If you possess the skills and qualifications required by employers in these sectors, the AIP can be an excellent opportunity to secure meaningful employment.
6
Community and Lifestyle
The Atlantic Provinces offer a high quality of life, picturesque landscapes, and a welcoming community. From vibrant cities to serene coastal towns, these provinces provide a range of experiences, making them attractive places to settle and raise a family.
7
Pathway for International Graduates
The AIP's International Graduate Program is designed specifically for graduates who have completed their studies in the Atlantic Provinces. If you have obtained a qualifying post-secondary degree or diploma from an eligible institution, the AIP provides a pathway to work and stay in the region.
By applying for the Atlantic Immigration Program, you can open doors to new opportunities, experience a high quality of life, and contribute to the growth and prosperity of Canada's Atlantic Provinces. Whether you are seeking professional advancement, a supportive community, or a new adventure, the AIP offers an enticing path to make Canada your permanent home.
AIP PROCESS
Process for AIP
The process for the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) involves coordinated efforts between the employer and the candidate to facilitate the candidate's application for permanent residency in Canada's Atlantic Provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island). Here's an overview of the process for both the employer and the candidate
Employer
1
Determine Eligibility The employer must ensure they meet the eligibility criteria to participate in the AIP. They must be a designated employer in one of the Atlantic Provinces, recognized by the provincial government as eligible to participate in the program.
2
Identify a Suitable Candidate The employer seeks out skilled workers, international graduates, or intermediate skilled workers who align with their labor market needs. They identify a candidate who possesses the skills, qualifications, and experience required for the job position.
3
Offer a Full-Time Job The employer extends a valid full-time job offer to the selected candidate. The job offer should be in an occupation that falls under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill levels 0, A, B, or C.
4
Endorse the Candidate After the job offer is accepted, the employer must endorse the candidate by supporting their application for permanent residency through the AIP. This involves assisting the candidate with required documents and endorsing their suitability for the position.
5
Prepare and Submit Documents The employer collaborates with the candidate to gather and submit the necessary documents for the AIP application. These documents may include a Provincial Endorsement Form and other supporting materials.
6
Submit the LMIA Exemption As part of the endorsement process, the employer must submit a request for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) exemption. This step confirms that the employer has made efforts to hire a Canadian or a permanent resident for the position and demonstrates the need to hire a foreign worker.
Candidate
1
Check Eligibility The candidate reviews the eligibility criteria for the AIP streams, which include the Atlantic High-Skilled Program, Atlantic Intermediate-Skilled Program, and Atlantic International Graduate Program. They ensure that they meet the specific requirements related to education, work experience, language proficiency, and settlement funds for the chosen stream.
2
Secure a Job Offer The candidate actively seeks employment opportunities in one of the Atlantic Provinces. To be eligible for the AIP, they must obtain a valid full-time job offer from a designated employer in the region.
3
Accept the Job Offer Once a suitable job offer is received, the candidate accepts the offer and commits to working for the employer in the designated province.
4
Work with Employer for Endorsement The candidate collaborates with the employer to complete the AIP application and obtain the required endorsement. They provide all necessary information and documents to support their application.
5
Create an Express Entry Profile With the employer's endorsement, the candidate creates an online profile through the Express Entry system on the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website. Their profile will be assessed based on various factors, including age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability.
6
Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) Based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, the candidate may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency during a regular Express Entry draw. The provincial endorsement significantly boosts the candidate's CRS score, enhancing their chances of receiving an ITA.
7
Submit Permanent Residence Application If the candidate receives an ITA, they will have a specific timeframe to submit a complete application for permanent residency. They must ensure all required documents and information are provided accurately.
8
Medical and Security Checks The candidate will undergo medical examinations and security checks as part of the admissibility assessment.
9
Approval and Landing If the application is approved, the candidate will be issued a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR). They can then proceed to Canada and become a permanent resident, settling in one of the Atlantic Provinces.
Throughout the process, the employer and the candidate work together to navigate the AIP application, with the shared goal of securing permanent residency in Canada's Atlantic Provinces. The program offers an employer-driven pathway that benefits both the employer, who gains access to skilled talent, and the candidate, who has the opportunity to build a future in the Atlantic region.

The AIP operates within the federal Express Entry system. Candidates must create an online profile through Express Entry and be eligible under one of the three AIP streams: Atlantic High-Skilled Program, Atlantic Intermediate-Skilled Program, or Atlantic International Graduate Program. The provincial endorsement significantly boosts a candidate's Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.
The processing times for AIP applications can vary, but the program aims to expedite the immigration process for qualified candidates. The timeline from submitting an application to obtaining permanent residency can differ based on individual circumstances and the current processing capacity.
