For AIPP, are you a designated employer? If not you need to become a designated employer and show you couldn’t hire locally. You need to meet requirements as a designated employer.

Same for LMIA, do you meet requirements and can prove you can’t hire Canadians or PRs?

If you get LMIA, your brother will apply for a closed work permit and his application will undergo extra scrutiny because he is your sibling. Processing for a closed work permit from India is around 54 weeks not including LMIA processings.

Im going to apply to get designated . Well there is no fraud. I geninunely need a cook. Im in an area where population is less and there are few people willing to work in restuarant. So im looking for a foreign worker which is my brother cuz he already a cook in india for 2 years now. Btw

Never said fraud. I just said that his application will be more scrutinized because he is your brother. Take the LMIA route rather than filing for PR through AIPP (you are not designated) first. Since you have posted the job and have no interest, then pay $1k and file for the LMIA. Make sure that you have proof you have posted the job on various job sites for at least a month. There is no fast way.

For AIPP, your brother will need ECAs and IELTS too. Plus you need designation first. Then even with job offer, he still needs a work permit to come here and work while you wait for PR approval.

Ask NS PNP what to do, and seek their expertise.

I belieive as an employer can do both at the same time. File for a LMIA and become designated and then your brother can apply for AIPP. This way if one comes through first, he is ready. Tell him to make sure he is eligible for AIPP with ECAs and IELTS.

Yes i ll do both. The only problem is my brother is 35 years old. And also he has only done high school 12th grade. He has done ielts and got 6 bands thats i think clb 6 . I dont know if he will be eligible if he has only done high school or hes 35. I heard its hard to immigrate after 35 and you get less points. What are the minimum requirements for atlantic program ?

He needs ECA for secondary. The link is the requirements.

Thanks Naturgi for responding to the above query by Awasthi. such responses are helpful to many like us.

i am too in same situation. my brother also has a registered business and he is willing to give me a job offer. Yes, agree that work permits supported by such LMIAs will definitely invite stricter scrutiny, but not refused {i believe} for which all the processes have to be meticulously followed.
