My self completed Master degree in IT field as a International Student @ Newfoundland and presently staying in this province ( around12 months) , after my two years master degree completion. overall I stayed this province is around 3 years.

And I got a job offer from Halifax company related to IT field. Based on job offer ( work from home) I have been working from Newfoundland only.

From my friends, I heard that I am eligible to raise PR w.r.t Atlantic immigration program.

Kindly suggest any one from this group, whether I am eligible or not ? how to process my PR.

Advance thanks for your valuable response.

Job offer must be with designated employer. If the company has been approved as a designated employer (can’t find any employees in the region) then you may be eligible. Not sure a remote position would be eligible. Read AIPP requirements.

thanks for your response,
I have gone through the AIPP requirements, there it indicated that " post-secondary Studies ( 2yr) @ Atlantic provinces are eligible to raise PR through AIP, and they don't need work experience" . Can you please conform my understand is correct or not?

Not talking about you, but the employer. Your employer must be designated and the job offer must meet certain requirements. Is your employer designated? If not, you are not eligible for AIPP. Also, your employer must be designated in the province where you are working remotely. If you are working in NFLD and NS, the employer must be designated in those provinces.
