Yup it is a designated employer. I actually did get a 60hrs+biweekly position but it's temporary which ends on March 2025. I indicated on my email that my permit is going to expire on February 2025 but my manager did not address it directly. He only congratulated me and said that the job offer...

I received my PGWP this Feb 2024 which is set to expire soon in 2025. I WASTED my time with a toxic company for 5 months till I thankfully got a Temporary job offer at a nursing home recently this August. I worked with them till end of October as part of the contract until I applied to another...

Hello, I'm stuck in a dilemma. The AIP portal closed last month and still waiting for it to open again. My work permit is expiring on Feb. 25, 2025. Because of this, I fear that AIP might open near/past my expiry date. Add to that the processing time for the provincial certificate of...

Hello, I'm currently waiting for AIP program to open again but concerned that it might open after my post-grad work permit expires which is on February 24, 2025. By the time it opens up again, I would need to wait for the certificate of provincial endorsement and it would probably come out...

If they would need to apply for my PR through AIP? I heard some employers do it for the employees

According to AIP requirements, I was wondering if the employer is the one who needs to apply or can the applicant submit all the required documents and apply for themselves as long as Certificate of Employment is submitted as well?

Thank you so much for your prompt replies! I do believe I've run out of other options then. It's either waiting for the AIP to reopen or obtaining a LMIA. Which in both cases are very uncertain.

I'll have to ask the company about it - you never know unless you try From what I know though as someone working in a nursing home, most of the people who got recruited were internationally trained. I'm kind of hoping this means they can easily provide LMIA but it might be a different case if...

I see. How long do pauses usually take after reaching the immigration quota for the given year? Are there any estimates? My chances for EE or CEC is low as the minimum requirement is 1 year work experience in NOC 0, A, B or C and by the time I reach this experience my permit would be...

Thank you for the feedback. Appreciate it!

Hi everyone! I recently read that the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is currently taking a pause for the remainder of 2024 just now. My PGWP is expiring on February 2025 so I can't just wait around till it resumes again next year. As someone who was about to apply for PR under AIP within...

All my work experience were gained while in Canada, AIP also has a 1 year work experience requirement unless you graduated from the Atlantic provinces, which I did not

I see, seems like CEC is not an option. AIP is also under the same-ish problem cause it also has a 1 year work experience requirement. However I'm not entirely sure if my job as a FT Barista during my study permit counts as TEER 4. If it is then there should be no problem applying for it haha...

Just wanted to know if work gained as a Barista is considered to be TEER 4 (which is supposedly for food and beverage servers) as stated in the IRCC website under the AIP requirements? However, when I searched for 'food and beverage servers' on the NOC code website it says it's under the TEER 5...

Hi. I'm currently on my 1 year PGWP, residing in New Brunswick. Yes, I'm aware of the AIP program. But I would like to know if I could have a chance to do CEC as well. My PGWP expires on Feb. 25, 2025. However, I found and began my NOC job only until Mar. 08, 2024. And if I were to submit an...

Hi, Thank you for your response. Does a close work permit mean LMIA? or is it different and can be applied during my PGWP? I'm still about to start this new job so I'm unsure whether to ask now or give it a few weeks.. I also agreed for the Temporary FT (6 months contract). I'm hoping to do...

It's because my job offer is temporary FT for now.. I just didn't wanna risk not having a back up if it doesn't transition to Permanent Full time before my permit expires. That too, I'm not sure if my employer will agree to endorse me to PR after only a few months of working with them.. so I'm...

Hello, The company is designated and the recruiter also told me they have an immigration team that handles such cases. My NOC would be under NOC B or TEER 3 for Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) at a nursing home. Is it wise to consult with a lawyer/consultant on what steps to follow?

Hi, I'm residing in New Brunswick and hoping to get my PR through the AIP pathway. I did my 1 year of international study in Ontario. I'm currently in the process of the hiring process as a CCA (Continuing Care Assistant/PSW) at a nursing home. However, the job offer is Temporary Full-Time. My...

Thank you for the clarification. The only work experience I have is all within Canada (including part time jobs worked as an international student), I'm not sure if my current roles fall into the skilled work category though? Right now, my job at the Food and Beverage is making me wait till I...
