Other Permanent Residency Programs

The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is an immigration program that allows skilled workers and international graduates from a school in Canada to obtain permanent residence in Canada to settle in one of the four Atlantic provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador.

To immigrate to Atlantic Canada through this program, you must be:

• A graduate student from a recognized post-secondary institution in Atlantic Canada, or
• A skilled worker.

You may be living abroad or already in Canada as a temporary resident.

• Job Offer from a designated employer in the province (for graduates and skilled workers):
  • Specific requirements apply to job offers (duration, type of occupation, etc.).

• Work experience:
  • This requirement varies depending on whether you are a graduate or a skilled worker.

• Education (for graduates and skilled workers):
  • A minimum level of education is required, which varies depending on whether you are a graduate or a skilled worker.

• Language (for graduates and skilled workers):
  • A minimum level of English/French proficiency is required, which varies depending on the TEER.

• Economic funds (for graduates and skilled workers)

*If you qualify for PR through this program, you may be eligible to apply for a temporary work permit while your permanent residency application is processed.

Canadian permanent residency pilot programs are temporary initiatives created by the Canadian government to address specific labor market needs, attract immigrants to certain regions, or support specific sectors. These programs allow foreign workers and international graduates to obtain permanent residency if they meet certain criteria.

Main features of the pilot programs 📋

1. Temporary objective: Pilot programs are typically limited in duration, so these types of programs open and close.
2. Specific focus: They focus on specific needs, such as addressing labor shortages in specific sectors or fostering growth in less populated areas.
3. Various requirements: Eligibility criteria depend on the program and include work experience, education, job offer, and language proficiency.

Most notable Pilot Programs:

• Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot
• Agri-Food Pilot

As the name suggests, these are temporary measures implemented for a limited period and can be changed or terminated once the situation justifying them has disappeared.

Applying for humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) consideration is an exceptional measure – not simply another means of applying for permanent residence in Canada. 

You can apply for permanent residence from within Canada on humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) grounds if:

• You are a foreign citizen currently living in Canada;
• You need an exemption from one or more requirements of the Immigration Act and Regulations (IRPA and IRPR) to apply for permanent residence in Canada;
• You are not eligible to apply for permanent residence within Canada under any other immigration category, but you consider that your circumstances warrant H&C consideration for the grant of permanent residence.

To be considered for an exemption from the usual requirements of the Immigration Law, you must:

• Clearly indicate in your application the specific exemption you are requesting. Demonstrate that there are sufficient and compelling reasons to grant you an exemption that allows you to apply for permanent residence from within Canada.
• Provide all details related to your request, including the reasons why you believe an exemption should be granted on H&C grounds.
• Demonstrate that there are sufficient and compelling reasons to grant you an exemption that allows you to apply for permanent residence from within Canada.
