Atlantic Immigration Pilot Programme (AIPP)

Thanks for your response.

I noticed that the letter mentioned we should submit all required documents in a single package, but I sent a separate package for myself and each dependent. How did you send it?

We did not send ours because we are inland applicants and they advise us to wait for the portal email to be sent.

I received an email from IRCC Halifax for submitting passports, photos, height and eye color details for COPR. I submitted 3 different packages for me and my dependents and they reached IRCC office on Feb 11, but I haven't heard back or received any further update yet. I am outland applicant.

How long does it generally take for COPR / passport stamping? Is there a way to contact IRCC to check the status?

Hi quick question how did you go about getting a job? What process worked best for you?

 

[Ianiesha Bailey]

Do you mind telling us your NOC?

Did you go alone or did you bring family? I want to bring my family and since u got the work permit first did you get to carry your family with you?

hi all, does a good IELTS help to speed up the process (AIPP)? As in, the minimum required in 4.5 above in all, but if you get overall band of 8, does that make your case stronger and gets picked up faster? Just a thought...

don't seem like so. It all depends on luck...

Also, my employer says PR application can be made 3months post working in Canada under AIPP, I am not sure if this is ok. kindly advise.

It can be quite challenging however once you view the designated employers list you seek jobs with employers that are on the list and if u find an employer that isn't on the list you can introduce them to the process of becoming one. Just hope for the best get your documents ready and use job sites such as career beacon indeed LinkedIn etc to find jobs or go on the company website and see if they have any available jobs

@Prashant24 , I've applied for a WP (AIPP Endorsement/LMIA Exempt) in Nov.2021 (Outside of Canada/ from Europe), and still no response.
By the way, did you submit application for AIPP PR?

 

[GR123]

Hello,
Does anyone recently have submitted AIPP PR applications (paper)?
I would like to know the approximate duration to acknowledge the application, also processing time.
Please share your experience.

I have submitted my PR application (under AIPP) on 1st Feb, and currently waiting for AOR. I had received my confirmation of Endorsement on 3rd Dec. However, I did not mail them, it was done online. I have hired an agent/lawyer to take care of my paperwork and other process.

@coolio007 , thank you for your response.
Are we allowed to submit AIPP PR applications online? as per the website, AIP can apply online from March 6th onwards, and mine is AIPP (Pilot) and my endorsement letter expires a day before. So I have applied by post. :-(

I will update you if I get AOR from IRCC. Also, it would be great, if you share the same. Thanks.

Hi All i received a PR confirmation email today! yay! Now we are just waiting for the Portal email.

 

[Spring2020]

I also worry about my husband PR application status. Please see the details as follows:

Sent PR file: 19 July 19
AOR: 21 Aug 19
Passed medical: 21 Aug 19
Done Biometric: 27 Aug 19
Pre-Arrival Letter: 05 Sep 19
100% completed 19 Jan 20
Until now, we don"t receive any more information from IRCC & Application status is only:
" Your application is taking us longer than
usual to process. About 20% of our applications are more complex to process. They take us longer to things like how easily we can verify
information, how well and how quickly you
answer our requests and whether the
application is complete". It's stressful with waiting. Anyone same time with me?

It's long time for waiting PR & I received PPR yesterday. Hoping I can receive PR confirmation soon. I hope all of you are successful.

Like I said before, I have hired an immigration agent to take care of my papeprwork, so I don't know what method they have used to apply for my PR. I have all the originals with me, and I had sent scan copies of each document as requested by them. I have been updated on a timely basis on my process by them and submitted the required documents whenever required. As per them, I should receive my AOR by end of March or early April. On receipt of AOR I will have to do my medicals and Biomentrics. So I am only following their instructions.

I will update on this forum when I receive the AOR.
