Graduates and Skilled Workers<\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong>Securing a Job in Atlantic Canada<\/strong><\/h3><p>The most important requirement for the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is obtaining a job offer from a nominated Atlantic Canada employer. A candidate can apply if they meet the following requirements:<\/p><ul><li><p>Recently completed studies at a recognized post-secondary institution based in Atlantic Canada or<\/p><\/li><li><p>A professional with relevant work experience, even those with a trade or apprenticeship certification.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>Whether abroad or in Canada as a temporary resident, the AIP connects international graduates and skilled workers to roles, such as food and beverage servers, where local talent is scarce, addressing regional labour shortages.<\/p><h3><strong>Starting Work in Canada While Waiting for Approval<\/strong><\/h3><p>In case you are a student enrolled on a full-time student who has completed studies in a qualified institution not long ago, or if you are a qualified professional who has been issued a job offer by an eligible employer, you are permitted to file a work permit application while the permanent residence application is in processing. If you are also required to provide one, it will be a province situated in the Atlantic region that has absorbed you for employment purposes.<\/p><h2><strong>Employers in Atlantic Canada<\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong>Steps to Become a Designated Employer<\/strong><\/h3><p>To offer jobs through the Atlantic Immigration Program, employers must become designated by the government of the province where the job is based. Each province has its application process, and there is no cost to apply for designation. To begin, visit the provincial government\u2019s website to access the required forms:<\/p><ul><li><p>New Brunswick<\/p><\/li><li><p>Newfoundland and Labrador<\/p><\/li><li><p>Nova Scotia<\/p><\/li><li><p>Prince Edward Island<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h3><strong>Hiring International Talent<\/strong><\/h3><p>After obtaining the necessary permissions, it is common for employers to look for foreign workers to occupy positions that they cannot fill locally. Regardless of whether the person is abroad or already present in Canada, the program permits a broader and more adapted range of options in order to deal with the issue of labour imbalance.<\/p><h2><strong>Step-by-Step Guide for AIP Applicants<\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong>Endorsement Process<\/strong><\/h3><ol><li><p><strong>Job Offer: <\/strong>A designated employer offers you a job in Atlantic Canada.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Settlement Plan: <\/strong>You will be put in touch with a settlement service provider to develop an individual-specific settlement plan.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Submit the Plan: <\/strong>After the plan has been developed, please hand it over to your employer for endorsement application with the relevant provincial authority.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Certificate of Endorsement: <\/strong>Following the approval, a provincial endorsement certificate will be awarded to you.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Work Permit: <\/strong>In case a work permit is required, you may be given a supporting letter for the application to procure one.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><h3><strong>Immigration Application Process<\/strong><\/h3><ol><li><p><strong>Apply for Permanent Residence (PR):<\/strong> Prepare your PR application, endorsement certificate, and other supporting documents and submit them to Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Application Review: <\/strong>The PR application will be reviewed by IRCC.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Work Permit:<\/strong> If needed, you may also apply for a work permit in between the time you file your PR application and its decision.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Approval and Relocation:<\/strong> Once non-conditional approval is granted, you are free to relocate to any of the four provinces in Atlantic Canada and seek employment.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Support:<\/strong> Your employer and a provider of settlement services will provide additional assistance in helping you adjust and fit into your new environment at work and in the community.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><h2><strong>Candidate Requirements<\/strong><\/h2><h3><strong>1.
