What It Is

What does Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) consultant software do for an Indian agency?

Atlantic Immigration Program consultant software is a single platform that lets an Indian consultancy manage every stage of an AIP case without losing track of details across spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads. The pathway — known to many as the Atlantic Immigration Pilot when it launched in 2017 — became a permanent federal program in 2022, and IRCC now calls it the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP). It remains an employer-driven route: a candidate needs a genuine job offer from an employer formally designated by one of the four Atlantic provinces — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador. VisaBOS structures each AIP file around designated-employer verification, classifies the candidate under the correct stream — the Atlantic High-Skilled Program for experienced workers or the Atlantic International Graduate Program for graduates of an Atlantic post-secondary institution — tracks the mandatory settlement plan completed with a designated settlement service provider organization, and follows the provincial endorsement through to the final IRCC permanent residence application. For the broader landscape of Canadian PR routes an Indian consultancy might run alongside AIP files, see our Canada PR consultant software overview.

Sound Familiar?

Why are Atlantic Immigration files so hard to keep on track?

AIP cases run on a designated-employer requirement, a provincial endorsement step, and a mandatory settlement plan — compliance gaps that spreadsheets can never catch in time.

🏢

Verifying Designated Employer Status Before You Advise a Candidate

The Atlantic Immigration Program only recognises a job offer from an employer formally designated by the relevant provincial government. A candidate can walk in with a strong, genuine job offer, but if the employer's designation has lapsed or was never granted, the application is a non-starter. Designation lists are maintained separately by each Atlantic province and can change, so a consultant advising a candidate toward this pathway must confirm current designation status at the time of filing — not rely on what was true a year earlier — or risk steering a client toward a route that cannot succeed.

📋

The Settlement Plan Step Gets Missed by Consultants New to Atlantic Canada

Before an AIP candidate can receive permanent residence, they must complete a settlement plan with a designated settlement service provider organization in the province where they intend to live. This is a distinct, mandatory requirement — separate from the job offer and separate from provincial endorsement — and it is easy for consultants more familiar with Express Entry or other PR streams to overlook entirely, since neither of those pathways has an equivalent step. Missing or delaying the settlement plan appointment stalls a file at the very last stage, after the harder parts of the case are already done.

🏛️

Provincial Endorsement Adds a Coordination Step Outside IRCC

Unlike a purely federal application, an AIP case cannot proceed to IRCC for permanent residence until the relevant Atlantic province — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador — endorses the job offer. That endorsement sits with a provincial government office, runs on its own timeline, and must be tracked separately from the federal PR application stage. Consultancies juggling spreadsheets often lose sight of which province a file's endorsement request sits with, especially when running multiple Atlantic cases across different provinces at once.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Indian consultants managing Atlantic Immigration Program job offers, endorsement, settlement plans, and PR filing.

What is the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)?+

The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is a Canadian federal economic immigration pathway for the four Atlantic provinces — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. It launched in 2017 as the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP), and IRCC made it a permanent program in 2022, renaming it the Atlantic Immigration Program. Many people still search using the old 'pilot' name, but every rule referenced today applies to the current permanent AIP.

What's the difference between the Atlantic High-Skilled Program and the Atlantic International Graduate Program?+

Both are employer-driven AIP streams requiring a genuine job offer from a designated Atlantic employer, but eligibility differs. The Atlantic High-Skilled Program targets candidates with prior skilled work experience who meet the job offer and language requirements. The Atlantic International Graduate Program is for graduates of a recognised post-secondary institution located in one of the four Atlantic provinces, with reduced prior work-experience requirements. VisaBOS classifies each candidate under the correct stream from intake onward.

Why does the employer need to be 'designated' for AIP applications?+

Only employers formally designated by their Atlantic provincial government may make a qualifying AIP job offer. Designation confirms the employer has committed to supporting newcomers, including connecting them with settlement services. A job offer from a non-designated employer cannot support an AIP application, however strong it otherwise looks. Designation lists change over time, so consultants must verify current status before advising a candidate toward this pathway — VisaBOS flags this check before a case can advance.

What is a settlement plan and why is it required?+

Before receiving permanent residence under the AIP, a principal applicant must complete a settlement plan — a needs assessment and orientation session — with a designated settlement service provider organization in the province where they will live. The settlement plan connects the newcomer to local housing, schooling, healthcare registration, and community services. It is a distinct, mandatory milestone separate from the job offer and provincial endorsement, and it is often overlooked by consultants unfamiliar with Atlantic Canada.

Is there a free trial for the AIP consultant module?+

Yes — VisaBOS offers a 14-day free trial with full platform access and no credit card required. Designated-employer verification fields, stream classification, provincial endorsement tracking, and settlement plan coordination templates come pre-loaded, so a consultancy handling Atlantic Canada files can start managing live AIP cases within the first session rather than configuring workflows from scratch. Pricing is in transparent Indian Rupees with no surprise currency conversions.

How is AIP consultant software different from your Express Entry or Canada PR pages?+

The AIP is an employer-driven pathway with its own designated-employer, endorsement, and settlement-plan requirements, distinct from the points-based Express Entry system or other provincial routes. Our Canada Express Entry software covers CRS scoring and draw tracking, while our Canada PR consultant software page covers the full range of federal and provincial PR pathways together. This page focuses specifically on the employer-offer, endorsement, and settlement-plan workflow unique to Atlantic Canada.

Can a multi-branch consultancy track candidates across all four Atlantic provinces?+

Yes. VisaBOS supports unlimited branches with per-branch data isolation and a consolidated owner dashboard. A branch handling Nova Scotia-bound candidates, another managing New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island files, and one covering Newfoundland and Labrador cases can each track their own province's endorsement authority and designated-employer lists independently, while the consultancy owner sees pipeline health, revenue, and case status across every Atlantic province from one screen.
