Although the AIP has been extended by two years to December 2021, as of May 1, 2019, IRCC will require that applicants meet the language, education and work experience requirements of the AIP prior to being approved for a work permit.
The other recent changes to the AIP was beneficial to international students, employers in the healthcare sector and the provinces:
International graduates will now have 24 months post-graduation to apply for the AIP. This change will increase the number of eligible international graduates that can participate in AIP and give them the time they need to complete the PR application process.
Employers in the healthcare sector will be able to hire internationally trained nurses to work as continuing care and home care support workers in order to fill job vacancies.
The Atlantic provinces will have new authorities to focus their AIP spaces on in-demand labour market needs. This change will lead to better oversight of the pilot and give provinces greater ability to manage designated employers.
Contact: JM Immigration should you have questions regarding AIP or for any of your immigration queries.

The new Liberal government’s budget has provisions to create a new oversight body for licensing immigration consultants. This new body will have the power to crack down on anyone preying on newcomers. The provisions in this bill also prohibits ghost consultants from using certain titles and representing themselves as licensees, and gives this new body power to seek an injunction for any violations.
The bill proposed to create the “College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants” that will govern the practices of consultants. It will replace the existing Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC).
The bill proposes to require licensees to comply with a code of professional conduct established by the federal immigration minister.
The bill proposes doubling the existing maximum fines currently offered for consultants found to be violating existing rules. The college will also establish a fund to compensate victims of exploitative licensees.
“The college will have more tools to go after the bad consultants,” he said following Question Period. “I would expect that all those measures would enable the good consultants to continue to provide the good services that they’re able to provide.”
