This is a thread on Atlantic immigration pilot program. It's for those that have low crs and no more means of boosting it. With the current crs cut off, one has to look for other options.

So as we go along I will explain how this program works. I'm also considering this program as I have low crs and pof

PS: I'm not an immigration lawyer or agent, I have read through this scheme and know how it works. So please let's help ourselves through this process. Thanks

Anywherebuthere:
Thanks for this. How do we overcome the tough part- job offer?

Hanna007:


Yes it's difficult but not impossible, there 're people who have gotten job offers while in Nigeria. First is to have the list of designated employer and go through their site and check for jobs, then apply to the ones that fit you. We 'll all help each other go through this

Hanna007:
I will advise you have your ECA and ielts ready before you apply for jobs, so that once you have a job and its endorsed, nothing 'll keep you from applying to ircc. Inspite of all these, you can apply for a work permit once you get your endorsed job while ircc processes your application.

I'm considering nova Scotia, my ECA is still in process. Let's contribute to this, how many of u 're interested in this program and how far have you gone?

I will post list of designated employer for each province, note that most jobs are not advertised, you will have to go to their sites and check their career page. Also, when applying for jobs, always include a cover letter and state your intent in it I.e if they can sponsor you through AIPP. Apply for as many jobs as you can, but it should be in your field or what you do.

Trizadove:
Thank you for this information. my IELTS is ready and my ECA is being processed.
But below are my questions:
*Is there age limit for this program?
*Are we getting our PR through this process? If no, what do we need to do?

Hanna007:
This pilot helps employers in Atlantic Canada hire foreign skilled workers who want to immigrate to Atlantic Canada and also for international graduates who want to stay in Atlantic Canada after they graduate.

This four province are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward island .

Firstly, job offer is required from any of this province, but the good thing is LMIA is not needed but the job will have to be endorsed by the province through your employer. However, employers will have to be registered under this program to be eligible. Which is called designated employer.

This program has three scheme under it but 2 is for foreign skilled worker, while the other is for international graduates. Below is the schemes and requirements:

1. Atlantic high skilled program: this program requires
a) have work in a management, professional or technical/skilled job for at least a year in the last 3 years (NOC O, A or B)
b) have ECA
c) ielts clb 4 or TEF clb 4
d) pof
e) job offer must be full time at least 30hrs per week

2. Atlantic intermediate skilled program requires:
a) must have worked in a job that requires high school education or/and job specific training for at least a year in the last 3 years.
( NOC level C) or NOC A & B in 3012 or 3233 with job offer in NOC C in 3413 or 4412.
b) have ECA
c) ielts clb 4 or tef clb 4
d) pof

Although this program has its tough part (job offer), it also has it's benefits. Which I will list below:
1. IELTS band is low, clb 4 is required which is LRWS: 4.5, 3.5, 4.0, 4.0
2. POF is low;
Family of 1 = $3167
Family of 2 = $3943
Family of 3 = $4847
Family of 4 = $5885
Family of 5 = $6675
Family of 6 = $7528
Family of 7 or more = $8381
3. You don't need to be in the pool or have crs, once your job offer has been endorsed and have register for a settlement program, gather all the necessary documents needed for ircc and submit through paper route. Moreso, you will pay for biometrics , rprf and application fee.

Hanna007:


1. no age limit
2. yes, After you get a job offer from a designated employer, you need to get a settlement plan. A settlement plan will help you and your family adjust to your new home in Atlantic Canada. It will provide you with useful resources and contacts to help you feel welcome in your new community. These plans are free, Once you have your settlement plan, give a copy to your employer and keep a copy for yourself. If you’re not in Canada, bring the plan with you when you move to Canada.
Get your Certificate of Endorsement
After you have your settlement plan, the province must endorse your job offer. Your employer will handle this process. Don’t submit your permanent residence application until you confirm with the employer that your offer has been endorsed.
If the province endorses your job offer, you’ll get a Certificate of Endorsement in the mail. Include your endorsement certificate with your permanent residence application along with other document needed for your PR application to ircc via paper route, like eca, pof, passports, ielts, medical, pcc etc including this endorsement certificate.

Which ECA provider are u planning to use WES or ICES
I planning to send my transcript from my university to ICES tomorrow, but I am scared of ICES delay in evaluation.
WES with their too much requirements made me opt for ICES
