welcome to step 6 of the atlantic immigration pilot program in this particular step i'm
going to show you guys how to apply for a settlement plan but the question is what
exactly is a settlement plan so employees or employers that choose to be part of the aipp
program expected to help support their new employees and their families to help them adjust
to their new environment exactly what this says is what it is a settlement plan program is what
the government brought out for this particular immigration program to help new immigrants to
canada to help adjust to their environment so what are the importance of a settlement plan
number one first of all the service providers offer it to you for free so don't worry about
or am i going to pay for it no you wouldn't it's part of the um uh the process of applying for the
um aipp program right so it's designed to help newcomers like you adjust and settle in canada
with things like transportation finding housing and accommodation right it helps with finances
for public services like health care cards like i do have a health care card i have a sim number
if you have a child you can get child tax benefits and you know also when it comes to
schooling right right it also helps with figuring out your new environment while you're settling
and start a new life so a settlement plan pretty much is just something that helps you adjust to a
new environment pretty cool i believe so i think it's a good idea so without wasting your time
let me show you how to get your settlement plan in canada and just the note on the side
only apply for your settlement plan after you have gotten a job offer okay all right let's
just dive in right away so i'll show you guys how you can apply for a settlement plan um this is
a particular link i'm also going to leave in the downloadable section for you guys so you have a
link for this so you can refer back to it if you have any questions or if you really if
you're really confused about um issues relating to the settlement plan so this is a list of all
settlement service uh provider organizations for the atlantic immigration pilot program so this is
a note for the employers exactly what i said in the little powerpoint i showed you guys first it
said employers you need to work with settlement service provider organizations in your province
with your support they will help your candidates settle and integrate in canada
so foreign workers and international graduates after you get a job offer from a designated
employer you need a settlement plan applied for the atlantic immigration pilot program
start by contacting a service a settlement service provider organization to get a needs assessment so
you can get a settlement plan so this is the word that i want you to pay attention it needs
assessment right so um contact settlement service provider organization
so if you go down here you will see um before before that there is a key um thing
i also want you guys to pay attention it says the settlement service provider organization will do a
needs assessment this means it will ask you and your family and your family questions in person
online or by phone meaning when you reach out to them they're definitely going to um
ask you some questions so once you and your family members receive your settlement plan
send a copy to the employer so they can complete their endorsement application process so
again this is a key point area once you've done all the process of applying and you get your
settlement plan send a copy to the employer so that you can complete your endorsement program
so like i said earlier on this can only be started once you get a job offer so once you
get a settlement plan you now reach out to your employer again so um this is kind of uh a list
of all the settlement plans um this is settlement service provider organizations
in canada right so this is all of them this is in nova scotia nova scotia so we do have a list of
one two three so we have a lot then we also have a list of settlement um providers outside of canada
this is in french speaking only only so if you're someone who doesn't speak english and you're also
trying to like be a part of this process this would be a good link for you to look into right
but what i really want to do here is simple if you are someone if you got a job in nova scotia
and you just want to apply to um nova scotia is as simple as this just copy nova scotia ctrl c
ctrl v pest and all you have right here are all the settlement providers in nova scotia within
canada right so nova scotia every information here right here is all uh settlement care providers
in nova scotia in canada right that's the same thing you do with the other provinces
let's say you got a job in um newfoundland and labrador so you just copy go here paste
and same thing it gives you the same information right if you got a job in prince edwards island
put the same information here if you got a job in new brunswick or prince edward island
same thing copy put in here and then you get your information there are two ways you can reach out
to settlement providers you can either click on one and then it takes you uh to their website
let's wait while this opens up and it takes you to their website right
and all you do is you go over here and you hit general request
you're welcome please choose an option for your quicker response new member new immigrant you tick
new immigrant so on the subject matter you can either reach out to settlement providers
from this as in from going straight to their websites and this is kind of a little thing
i put out here so you can just take questions concerning settlement plans and if it's a new
nova scotia you put the same information if it's in new brunswick you put the same information
so you put your subject matter there you put like um um like all your information so they can they
have everything they need right and then you put tell them a bit about yourself again this is where
i put out this information here let me give you an example hi my name is nonso as at writing
this email i have secured a job from you put the company that you got a job with and i've started
making preparations to relocate to canada with my family i would appreciate if you can assist me
with all the needed information on my part to help secure a settlement plan for me and my
family before arriving in canada so if it's for you just say for me if it's for you and
your family you put the same information regards nonso so it's as simple as that and you send then
i'm going to come back to this area let me show you something here so this is
where you put that information then you put your verification code and then you hit the send button
right so you can just maybe create a craft you don't have to use exactly what i wrote down here
but it's like an example of what you should be looking at you can say questions question
concerning settlement plans and then the province you applied to or you got a job with or inquiry
concerning settlement plans in the same province you got a job prince edward island new brunswick
um newfoundland uh and labrador or nova scotia or you can say um things like um
requests concerning settlement plans so there are too many ways you can approach it right then with
this body you craft it in a simple way uh you want it to be like uh straight to the point and you
know also highlight the key points which is as at the time i wrote this email i already have a job
right so and i'm i'm and i'm preparing but i would want you to give me the needed
information so i can get this plan before i come into canada that is just hitting the nail
at the head right once you get this information and you want to approach this organization so you
have a choice you just type it subject matter here put your needed information here and then
send put the body here and send but another way i would also want you guys to approach this
is let's say um let's say you're someone who got a job in nova scotia right what i would do is go to
nova scotia and just now i have all the settlement service providers in nova scotia because it says
that your your employer might recommend one for you or you can find one for yourself so if your
employer can recommend one for you let's say you got a job offer and your employer says okay i
already have a settlement provider for you fine and good but if your employer did not recommend
anyone for you but your job is in nova scotia this is a very good thing to do applying to one might
take you as and you don't really know when they're going to reply you this will be a good as in thing
to do how about you just take for each one africa diaspora association of the Maritimes copy
then we go to that our short email and recipients so we put for the first name we have one
copy then you know and then we reach out to all the settlement service providers
in nova scotia with the hope that you are going to get something from one of them and then also
because you're not addressing to one in particular you said question concerning settlement plans
in nova scotia right then you put that information anyone that reaches out to you in time
you start working with that person i think that's kind of like the easiest way to approach
this and if you're someone who is looking to like um explore other platforms outside of canada
these are the ones you can go to same process you click on the website it takes you there
you explore you're looking to get information you go to the contact once you hit the contact
um then you reach out to them right you reach out to them that is like another way
to um that's another way to uh reach out to all these people outside of canada but i would
recommend you start with the ones in canada and see the response you get before going to uh the
settlement plans outside of canada so this is just like a simple um walkthrough on how to get
your settlement plan um um before you apply for your permanent residency right remember
once you get it you send it back send a copy to your employer so they can complete their
endorsement application process unless i forget it another cool thing to do here would be once
you put in all the information here i think it would be a good idea to attach your work of as
in your job offer so if you can attach your work offer you can actually end up saying um regards
you can just say find attached find attached my job offer offer letter right my job offer letter
exactly so regards so this helps you to like put more information as proof right so um again if you
are a little bit confused go back to this video review and read the information here sometimes
when people try to explain things it's also a lot easier when you like go through this is like
a very good information for you to understand exactly what you're trying to apply for here
it breaks it down and then this helps you to like dive right to the point remember to use
