Both the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) and the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allow applicants to apply for permanent residency on the basis of applying to specific Canadian provinces.
Therefore, you may be wondering which program is easiest to apply for.
Arguably, the AIP is easiest to apply for as it has fewer steps leading to eligibility for permanent residency. The main requirement is that you should have an eligible job offer, after which you should obtain an endorsement certificate. You will then be able to apply for permanent residency.
The PNP, however, may require a few more steps depending on the method in which you apply. In all cases, however, you will have to liaise with the province you wish to immigrate to in order to receive an endorsement after determining that you meet the province’s specific eligibility criteria.
