HOW TO APPLY FOR THE ATLANTIC IMMIGRATION PILOT PROGRAM (AIPP):

• Step 1: Secure a Job Offer: The first and crucial step is to secure a valid job offer from an employer in one of the Atlantic provinces participating in AIPP. The job offer should be for a full-time, non-seasonal, and non-temporary position.
• Step 2: Meet the Eligibility Criteria: Ensure you meet the eligibility criteria for one of the three AIPP programs based on your work experience, education, and job offer. Be prepared to provide proof of your qualifications and work experience.
• Step 3: Get a Designation from a Provincial Immigration Office: Once you have a job offer and meet the eligibility criteria, your employer must contact the appropriate provincial immigration office to get a designation. This designation is essential for your application.
• Step 4: Apply for Permanent Residency:  With your job offer and designation in hand, you can apply for permanent residency through AIPP. You will need to submit all required documents, including the job offer and designation letter, to the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
• Step 5: Wait for Processing:  The IRCC will review your application, conduct background checks, and make a final decision on your permanent residency. The processing times can vary, so be patient.
• Step 6: Arrive in Canada:  Once your application is approved, you will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and can make plans to move to your chosen Atlantic province with your family.
