Hi everyone and welcome to one more video of the How to Immigrate to Canada
channel my name is Marilene Quintana I'm a regulated Canadian Immigration
consultant and today we are going to talk about the Atlantic immigration
pilot program which is the easiest and fastest way to become a permanent
resident in Canada before we talk about that Atlantic Immigration pilot program it's
important for you to note that this program apply for all the four provinces
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador but
before we start as I always ask please give us a thumbs up subscribe to our
channel click on a little bell right below so you can receive notifications
of our new weekly videos and also feel free to leave us a comment
there are three different streams to immigrate through the Atlantic Immigration
pilot program the first one is the Atlantic high-skilled program the second
one that Atlantic intermediate Skilled program and the third one it is the
Atlantic international graduate program this program is one of the easiest one to
immigrate to Canada it is that the general criteria is very very low so for
example the language criteria requires that you have a test in English or
French and your score must be CLB 4. CLB 4 it is a pre intermediate
level it is a very low bar and it's very easy to achieve in my opinion so if you
studied a lot about English in your home country you may be able to get this
score the second criteria is the Education level which they consider as mandatory
high school level and if you have attained high school in your country of
citizenship you just need to do equivalency to compare your high school
as equivalent to the Canadian level the third criteria is to have enough funds
to support their family the same requirement applies for federal programs
for example if you are a family of one person meaning are single and have no kids the
amount that's required is about $13,000 if you have a spouse but don't have kids
the amount required it is around $16,000 and for every kid that
added to your application for every kid that you have you'll be around
$3500 more that you have to prove in our application so for
example at twenty thousand dollars for a couple with one kid and these goes
according to the family we can live here the link below that describes the proof
of funds so can make sure that have Funds available for your immigration
program. It is also important to say that all three streams require that you have
a job offer made by an employer located in the Atlantic province and who is
designated by the province to participate in the Atlantic immigration
pilot program if the employer is not designated we can do the process to do
the designation which is a little bit more complicated but if the employer is
already designated it is a very straightforward process and employers
they have such a need of workforce in those locations that they are willing to
support you through Atlantic Immigration pilot program also they made available
list of all employers that are already part of the problem so you can review
the list of employers and apply directly to jobs with them which I think it's a
great option we are also going to give you guys
under link below the list of employers that are participating the problem
something that's important to say about education that despite the fact that the
requirement it is to have at least high school depending on the job offer that
you obtain you have to comply with the education requirement according to the
offer that you received okay so for example if your position requires that
you are trained at a bachelor level to perform that occupation you must also
have the bachelor level okay now we are going to talk about the differences
between the three different programs available I will start talking about the
high skilled worker option which requires you to have a position and
they're NOC 0, A or B which means skilled worker position also they'll
have one year of work experience in that same position in the past three years
okay so I will give an example what is NOC 0, A or B. NOC 0 managerial
positions so any manager of any kind it is a skilled worker
Skill level type 0, NOC A means that a person needs a university degree to
perform the task for example computer programmer engineer, accountant, marketing
specialist all these positions are considered a specialty positions which
falls into the skilled Level type A, positions of the skilled level type B are
more technical positions usually require technical certificate or vocational
diploma such as Chefs, Cooks
trade occupations like plumbers, carpenters, cement finishers, drywall
mechanics, electricians and so on we also have in the level B positions
administrative assistants, bookkeepers and graphic designers it's important
also to say that the job offer must be full-time which means at least 30 hours
per week and must have duration of at least one year the second stream that we
are going to talk about is the intermediate skilled worker while most
provinces only offer opportunities to immigrate for people who have a job offer
under skill level type A, 0 or B the Atlantic provinces also offer an
opportunity for people who are working and have a job offer under the skill
level type C which includes for example servers, hostess people that provide
support for warehouses, truck drivers, butchers people working in hotels for
example so it's a huge variety of options and easier way to qualify for
it immigration program so all the requirements are exactly the same for
the high-skilled workers stream meaning the language requirement the funds
requirements and education requirement and regarding the job offer as well that
must be for at least one year at least 30 hours per week something that's very
interesting this is tree as well is that if you have experience as a nurse back
home and you got a job offer on the NOC C as a home support worker or a nurse
aide which is the nurse assistant for example you can now apply for this
program and immigrate to Canada let's talk about the third option to immigrate
to the Atlantic immigration pilot program which is the international
graduate stream so listen while the two that I have talked about he acquired you
to have a previous experience of at least one year in that occupation that
you got a job offer if you graduate from a public institution located in one of
the Atlantic provinces and if your program of studies is of at least two
years you can apply with a job offer to immigrate to Canada without having to
prove work experience so all you have to do is to prove that you have to lived
already in the Atlantic province for at least 16 months that you have graduated
from a two-year degree or diploma in a public institution in the Atlantic
province and then there you have the language requirements and the funds
requirements that's very good option for you to
consider because it is very very easy to get a job offer when you are located in
Canada when you are here for this program actually you have the option to
search for a job offer when you are from overseas, it is possible but you can
increase a way more your chances if you are in Canada so coming for a study
program will allow you to apply at any time through the high skilled worker or
the intermediate skilled worker according to your experience but if you
were not able to get a job offer while you're here spouse is here one
studying the other one working full-time and you were not able to get that job
offer then upon graduation you'll be a way easier and it's also another option
for you to immigrate to Canada the good point is in the international graduate
stream you can consider a job offer in NOC 0, A, B and C levels okay so let's say
you're here is studying you are working as a server part-time then you graduate
Then you just need to talk to your employer to support your application
through the Atlantic immigration program even as a server even as a
hostess which is quite easy to get job offers from because it is an industry
that require a lot of workers that's all for today guys so I hope you guys liked
