Hello Frank,
Please am really interested on knowing the financial implications from ECA, IELTS, PR application fee, etc. From your experience so far.
Also I have seen in one of the province which i think its Newfoundland that said applicants must submit their ECA and IELTS alongside their application for endorsement, I guess the rule doesn't apply to all.
Is there any difference between the requirements for PR and Work permit under the AIPP?
Did the company tell you from their experience the reason for high rate of Work permit refusal and the reason to apply for PR instead?

Assuming your spouse eventually was the lucky one to secure a job offer under the AIPP program from a designated employer he/she will be the Principal Applicant. The accompanying spouse doesnt need to write an IELTS and ECA. With that being said, If your spouse PR Application turns out successful, you automatically become a PR without stress . Please be well informed that AIPP is quite different from Express Entry where both parties (husband and wife) needs to sit and crack their brains for IELTS 8777 and attain at least a master's degree before being considered for an ITA.

Congratulation Frank. More wins for all of us in this Canada Journey. How long did you go hunting online before you landed this job? How was your interview conducted what means was used?

Thanks for the best wishes.

It took me solid 4 months of persistence reading and exploring of different companies websites using the approved list of designated employers under the AIPP stream. At some point, I got discouraged as most of the companies I contacted vehemently said they weren't aware of the immigration program called - AIPP.... This kept me puzzling and wondering how will they not know about the Atlantic program. Meanwhile, their companies names were boldly published among the designated employers on the list of the Atlantic program to hire foreign employees. I knew what I wanted so I relentlessly kept on pushing without hesitation. I sought advices from some of the experienced Indians guys on the WhatsApp group I belonged to as of then, they gave me tips on how to contact employers in the Altantic region and shared me some of their cover letters during their hunt for job offers. Having implemented all the tips and tricks as advised, all attempts proved abortive as majority of the employers I contacted were looking for employees with work permit within Canada. cry

The quest for job offer continued, afterwhich I decided to build up my LinkedIn account and subscribing to the premium package which will give me visibility for any job vacancies within my qualifying NOC. It was very quite fortunate for me to see one of the approved companies under AIPP and their advertisement for Vacancy for over two months. shocked A thought came to my mind and i resolved to give it a shot and see if things turns out fine for me.... To be honest, its was a mere trial!. I didn't even invest so much hope that I'll secure the job. After all, I have been getting several rejection response/mails from companies in Canada all this while, therefore it's no longer a new thing to me. I braced up and contacted the company via their LinkedIn page as well as explaining to them about my sincere interest in working for the company and filling up their labour shortage. Luckily, the company replied my message after a week and requested that I should email them a copy of my resume and a cover letter which will detail about my vast working experiences in my qualifying NOC and why I am a good fit for the job/position in their company as well as the possible contributions I'll bring to the team that will yield high productivity for the company etc...

Fast forward, I did as the company requested and forwarded them my details. I got assistance from an indian guy who carefully took his time to review my resume, cover letter and reconstructed the mail I used. Within 3 business days, the company acknowledged the receipt of my documents, reviewed them and sent me an email regarding an interview.


My interview was conducted via Skype on the 21st of December, 2018. The manager of the company asked me questions about my experience and how long I have worked in that field and what is my current employment in my country of residence. Do I have my IELTS and ECA ready? Of which I sincerely told him that I don't have any yet but will get it done as soon as I have successfully secured the job offer. The manager is a jovial and very nice person. I must say he is very understandable and he said "That's okay, but you must have it so we can file for your Permanent Residence Application".... I replied with a calm voice "Sure I will".


At the end of the interview, the manager congratulated me with a smile on his face that I'm now a member/employee of the organization, that i should expect further correspondence from them which entails a signed job contract and supporting documentation regarding my employment via email. That I should endeavor to sign those forms and send it back to them ASAP, so they could begin my application for settlement plan, after which they will proceed with my provincial Endorsement and subsequently my Permanent Residence application to Canada. shocked shocked. My whole body was shivering... then I began to ask myself, could this be true or am i dreaming?. grin. This was one of the happiest day of my life meanwhile my PR will be the best of all. grin..... The waiting is not an easy one but I believe everything will work out in due time and I'll receive a PPR in few months to come grin


I hope my story stands to inspire and motive you all. My advice is that you should keep on pushing and never relent. Someday you will definitely find your dream employer and they will accept your application with open arms.


Keep faith, trust the process and always be optimistic.



I wish you all the very best.

Yup! AIPP requires at least a high school diploma that is equivalent to the Canadian high school diploma to be qualified for the program. To be able to achieve this, you need to evaluate your degree certificate/transcripts via WES/ICES. NOC 0, A and B falls under high skilled program, whilst NOC C and D falls under Intermediate skilled program.

Did the company tell you from their experience the reason for high rate of Work permit refusal and the reason to apply for PR instead?

Breakdown of the cost of AIPP PROGRAM -

ECA - N110,000
IELTS - N75,000
PR APPLICATION $550 AND RPRF $490 (Right of Permanent Residence fee) - $1040 which is equivalent to = N292,240
BIOMETRICS - $85 which is equivalent to N23,885
MEDICALS @IOM - N41,500


Total = N542,625

It's now a requirement for all provinces in the Altantic that Applicants must submit ECA and IELTS as at the time of Application for a provincial endorsement. This rule was recently effected. It was not in place when I started my process. However, during the processing of my endorsement the immigration officer requested for proof of my highest level of education and a copy of my resume.

Permanent Residence is a visa/status granted to a foreigner who is not a Canadian citizen and bestowed the right to live and work in Canada without any time limit on their stay. Whereas, work permit is a temporary resident visa that allows you to work for a specific period of time for an employer. The work permit was originally created for companies/employers that are anxiously/urgently seeking for a foreign employee to come over to Canada and fill up the labour shortage in their organization and subsequently apply for their PR within Canada.

The company complained that they have had issues with Nigerian applicants applying for Work permit to Canada. They further explained to me that applicants from Nigeria are been invited for an interview at the canadian consulate (embassy) at Lagos. During the interview, the visa offficer at the embassy will begin to run a background check on the applicants work experience letter (reference letters) as well as start contacting/calling each and every of the referees on the applicant's resume, the employer in Nigeria, and also the applicant's family members in order to ascertain that the applicants really had the job experience in the corresponding NOC stated on the job offer from the employer in Canada. Furthermore, they complained that Work permit application takes forever like 8-12 months before a response is communicated to the applicant, which all end up as a REFUSAL. So he advised that Permanent Residence is the best option for Nigerian applicants seeking to migrate through the AIPP program and the PR process takes at least 6 months or less in most cases.


I hope this helps.

Once you've successfully secured a job offer it's the responsibility of the employer to decide either of two (PR and WP) for the applicant. Assuming the employer needs the applicant urgently in their organization, then they might opt for work permit. As I said earlier, my employer disapprove recruiting Nigerian applicants via work permit route because it takes longer to be finalized and most cases end up in a refusal. So, the decision is dependent upon your employer. Bear in mind for you to be eligible for a work permit, your employer must pay a compliance of 230$CAD for an employee ID which you will be required to fill this number in your work permit application form.

Yes designated employers in the Atlantic province must show proof at the time of applying for a provincial endorsement that the company has made effort in recruiting a permanent residence/canadian citizen (locally)within the province to fill up the shortage of labour. With that said, employer must submit proof of newspapers, and magazines where they advertised the job title which made it eligible for the company to recruit a foreign employee.

##hannamia007, Your input shall be greatly appreciated.

How old are you? because with your master EE should be looking good; that is if your age is favorable. But for AIPP evaluate the degree you feel you have more work experience or all. Some employers don’t want some people with masters if they require bsc, it makes one look over qualified. If you have time and money evaluate all your degree to be on a safe side. just a suggestion

You can decide which, IRCC stayed you can apply for work permit while your PR is in progress, also your employer can decide for you. But why apply for work permit when you can apply for PR and be a residence.

Hi
Thanks for your input.

I'd like to ask you a question.
How long do you need to work with your employer before you can move to other jobs or provinces.
I'm saying this because some people are of the opinion that you will be irrevocably tied to your employer once you go this route.
What's your opinion on this?

Your employer will give you a contract, ensure you read it thoroughly and understand most of the clauses there, if the contract states 1 year then after one year you can renew or look for job else where. But it’s advisable to be in that province until you get your citizenship.
