The program is aimed at attracting qualified foreign specialists to the four provinces of Eastern Canada that have an increased need for workers. Thanks to the support of local employers and a simplified paperwork procedure, this immigration pathway allows a person to obtain permanent residence within 6-12 months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What is the Atlantic Immigrant Program?<\/h2>\n<p>The provinces of Eastern Canada have significant economic potential. There are so many open positions that employers in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador attract workers from all over the world. A special program has been created to facilitate the relocation of such specialists and quickly obtain permanent resident status. This program was launched in 2017 as a trial program called the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program. The project has become one of the most successful in the history of immigration to Canada and has evolved into a full-fledged permanent residency program.<\/p>\n<h2>Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>Participation in the program requires compliance with several criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Work experience of at least 1 year in the occupation for which the employer is hiring. This experience must be gained within the last 5 years for the Atlantic Immigration Program to Canada.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Intermediate level of English, which is confirmed by an IELTS or CELPIP or PTE Core certificate with a score of 4 or 5 on the Canadian CLB standard (maximum score is 12 points). For simple professions, a lower language level is required (4 points). For skilled jobs, a slightly higher level is required (5 points). Knowledge of the French language, which is confirmed at the same levels by recognized tests, is also accepted for AIP.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">The level of education required for participation is confirmed by an assessment. For simple professions, a complete school education is sufficient. For skilled professions, post-secondary education that lasted at least 1 year and resulted in a diploma is sufficient.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Availability of funds to support your own immigration under the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP). The amount is calculated depending on the number of family members. These funds are not required if you already legally reside and work in one of the provinces included in the program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Advantages of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program<\/h2>\n<p>Compared to other permanent residency programs, the AIPP has several features that simplify and speed up the entire process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">First, immigration is tied to a specific employer who provides the conditions for fast-track immigration. There is no need to wait for selections or competition with other applicants. Receiving a job offer opens the way to start the process.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Secondly, this program does not require an invitation to employ a foreigner (LMIA). It is the employer who hires the foreigner who provides support for obtaining permanent residence.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Third, employers participating in the Atlantic Program of Canada are carefully selected by local provincial governments. Once they meet the criteria, they are approved. More than 3,100 companies meet the program&#8217;s requirements and can sponsor their employees for permanent residence in Canada.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Fourth, the provincial government provides a document of support for each employee under this program. An additional advantage is the provision of an individualized integration plan for each newcomer, depending on the community and the employing company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Atlantic Program streams in Canada<\/h2>\n<p>Specialists in various professions, as well as students from local colleges in the Atlantic provinces, have their own streams for applying for permanent residence under the Atlantic Immigration Program:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Atlantic High Skilled &#8211; this pathway is suitable for production technologists, managers, IT specialists, accountants, construction foremen and similar specialties;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Atlantic Intermediate Skilled &#8211; this pathway is designed to attract truckers, butchers, construction workers (plasterers, joiners, carpenters, drywallers, welders), as well as workers in various industries (woodworking, metalworking, production line operators).<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Atlantic International Graduate is an opportunity for graduates of educational institutions in 4 Atlantic provinces.
