Thanks very much @intl_tu You are very helpful and informative, are you an AIPP applicant? Hope I can be an applicant one day but first I need to get into a college or uni first, I still have a long way to go, thanks again!

AIPP has been extended once and is currently valid till December 2021... not sure you will be able to make it or not in case it is discontinued..

I submitted a web form and received a response that processing time will potentially take time due to limited operations at the moment. The usual processing time kicks in the day they receive the application and if the application is complete then 90 days to receive an AOR.

For your PR application, did you include two photos for each member of your family such as parents and siblings? I am single, never married and have no common law partner or children.. I am not sure if photos of parents and siblings are necessary

Yes, that's one concern but I don't have many choices btw, do you know if AIPP discontinue until I finish my study, are there any other program for international graduate in Atlantic provinces? Like Manitoba has specific pnp program for international graduate to apply?

If they are included as applicants in your application then yes, their photos are required to be sent with the application otherwise no.

Hi Chirayu189, I am not familiar with the program too, so, I can't answer. Let's wait and see if any other expert or experienced applicant would help!

Hi Chirayu,

Usually, an undergrad and graduate level degrees vary in length, 4 and 2 years respectively. The requirement says at least 2 years which is based on the official length of a program issued by the university. I didn't completely get you when you said 1+1, if you meant 2 diplomas of 1 year each then this is a unique situation, I would suggest to reach out to one of the provincial immigration offices and they will respond to you with a legit response. All the best!

You might also want to read about Nova Scotia Express Entry program, it a new program, it works like PNP+Express Entry but is exclusively for those who have completed 1 year of work experience in Nova Scotia. But please read the fine prints of the eligibility of any program you want to consider, it's changing quite frequently these days.

Do I need to obtain police clearance from my home country again, to apply for inland International graduate stream?

I have got my police clearance from home country before 2 years. Is it required to renew again?

And is it required to show proof of funds for this stream while having a valid job offer?

Police Clearance Certificates are usually valid for 6 months so you will have to get one for your home country. For AIGP, showing funds is not mandatory if you are already living and working in Canada but there's no harm in showing if you have, check below for the amount by family size: http://canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/atlantic-immigration-pilot/proof-funds.html

While looking for something, I found that they have added a note in the Accelerated Studies section which says that 2 years education should be from one single institute.
