Slow Start Released By Federal Government Immigration Plan AIP
27 Nov 2017
The slow start of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot has the support of the Immigration Plan Targets of the Federal Government.
Ottawa expects the arrival 1,000 immigrations under the AIP during 2018.
The Pilot was launched in March 2017 and is driven by employers. It has programs meant for people with high and intermediate skills and also for global graduate immigrants.The three-year pilot targets were welcoming 2,000 immigrants in the four provinces in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
It focuses on retaining the primary challenge for Atlantic Provinces, who welcome immigrants, but eventually lose them to other regions of Canada when they attain permanent residence status.
The Candidates need a job offer that is exempt from an LMIA and also need to submit a Settlement Plan. They receive a Certificate of Endorsement before the application processed
The immigration levels plan revealed by IRCC shows that the government believes that the pilot has a future ahead of 2019.
It has a target of 4,000 immigrants to welcome in the AIP during the year 2020.
The slow start is attributed to employers getting accustomed to its working, chiefly in major areas like the Settlement Plan and endorsement. These are new requirements for an immigration program.
When more employers complete the registration and get accustomed to the new system, the flow of immigrants to arrive in the AIP will increase.
The Pilot is designed to contest the aging demographic and overcome the difficulty in holding new immigrants in the region.
