Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)
Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)
The Atlantic Immigration Program, former AIPP, is one of the most popular immigration programs in Canada. The AIP is available in the 4 Atlantic provinces:
-Nova Scotia
-New Brunswick
-Prince Edward Island
-Newfoundland and Labrador
There are many advantages of applying for Permanent Residency through the AIP, like lower language proficiency, no age restrictions and the option to apply for a temporary work permit if you are currently living outside Canada. You could also apply for an open work permit for spouse.
The first step is to obtain a valid job offer from a designated employer. This company has already applied and obtained designation from the provincial government to hire foreign workers. We encourage our clients to look for a job offer using well known websites, like: Indeed, Career Beacon, Job Bank and LinkedIn.
There are three different types of the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP):
