Pilot Programs

Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)

The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) offers a pathway to permanent residency in Canada. This initiative, created by the Canadian government, aims to assist employers in the Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island) in filling positions that cannot be occupied locally. Employers can recruit candidates from within Canada or internationally, focusing on high-skilled, intermediate-skilled, or international graduates. Candidates can apply for work permits while awaiting the approval of their permanent residency application.

Agri-Food Immigration Pilot:

The Agri-Food Immigration Pilot was established by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to fulfill the labor requirements of Canada’s Agri-Food industry and offer a path to permanent residency for workers in this field. If you are currently employed in the agriculture sector, this program may be an excellent opportunity for you to immigrate to Canada.

Rural & Northern Immigration Pilot program

This program mirrors the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP) in many ways. However, a notable difference is that while the AIPP aids employers in the Atlantic region in recruiting workers, the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIPP) is driven by community needs. It offers a pathway for individuals to immigrate to Canada by settling in participating rural and northern communities, making the process more accessible. Through this program, applicants are granted a one-year work permit while their permanent residency application is being processed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). 

Home Child Care Provider Program:

The Home Child Care Provider Program and the Home Support Worker Program share many similarities in their requirements. The primary distinction is that the Home Child Care Provider Program is centered around caring for children under the age of 18, whereas the Home Support Worker Program is designed to assist the disabled and elderly. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) created these programs for individuals with at least two years of caregiver work experience in Canada and for those who plan to immigrate to Canada by working as caregivers. If you have accumulated at least two years of caregiver experience in Canada, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residency.
