Foreign Visa Consultants AIPP Requirements: Key requirements

The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program was launched in 2017 as a temporary aid for employers, skilled workers, and international graduates to settle in the four provinces of the Canadian Atlantic region. Now it has been declared permanent by the government of Canada because of its high success and growth rate since its launch. The four AIPP provinces are:

• Newfoundland & Labrador
• Prince Edward Island
• Nova Scotia
• New Brunswick

The international graduates and skilled workers get a chance to apply for Canada permanent residency in the province while the Atlantic employers get the opportunity to fill in a job position that they're unable to fill locally through the AIPP Program. Foreign visa consultants can provide guidance on the Canada work permit visa process and help navigate this opportunity.

AIPP Requirements 

The basic requirements to qualify under any of the programs are:

• The applicant must be a recent graduate from a publicly funded institution or a skilled worker who meets the specific program requirements
