On November 02, 2023, the Government of Canada published new updates for the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) to make it more accessible and beneficial for potential immigrants. One of the significant changes includes the removal of the previous 90-day commitment required to apply for permanent residence. This change provides more flexibility for applicants and can reduce the pressure associated with the immigration process. Another critical update is that the duration of the work permit is now extended to two years, which provides a longer timeframe for immigrants to establish themselves in the Atlantic provinces. Furthermore, the Government updated the guidance to the NOC 2021 language, ensuring it is up-to-date and relevant for future immigrants.
