Hello friends, Atlantic region of Canada consists of four Atlantic Provinces, named with New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland Labrador and Prince Edward Island. Local employers of that region are having a shortage of skilled workers, so Provincial government along with the Fedor government came up with the pilot project which is known as Atlantic pilot program. Under this project, local employer will be able to hire skilled workers overseas since they are not able to find them locally. In return, skilled worker who is outside the Canada will receive a permanent residency and get a chance to settle down into that Atlantic region. So it's a win-win situation for both employers and the skilled worker. Though procedure is very straightforward and easy to understand because of lack of knowledge and lack of information, so many international skilled workers got scammed by the wrong people. To explain how they got scammed and how we can prevent death to happen with us, I came up with this video. I will try my best to keep it as short as possible, but at the same time, I would like to cover all the important aspects of this project. So without further ado, let's get started. Hello friends, my name is Akassah and welcome to my YouTube channel. Before I start this video, if you haven't subscribed my channel yet, consider it to subscribe for more video on Canadian immigration, turns of video coming soon. Now let's talk about Atlantic pilot. Let me give you a quick overview of how this program actually works. An employer into the Atlantic region will offer you a full-time permanent job. Once the candidate receives the job offer, he can apply for a permanent residency under Atlantic pilot program. If candidates' application approved by the provincial government, he will receive a permanent residency and start working here. This is very basic overview, but there are so many steps to follow before you actually apply for a permanent residency. If you really want to know more about each and every steps, I have already made a video on my channel which explain you a step-by-step procedure how to apply for an Atlantic pilot program. I recommended you to check it later on. Now let's discuss where people got scammed. Under this pilot project, an employer can only provide a job offer to oversize candidate when they are designated by Provinces. So as an applicant, we want to make sure the job offer we received must be from the designated employer. So let me tell you how you can check that. Each provincial government has updated list of designated employers on their official website. You can find employers name, address, type of anocicode in which they are designated to offer a job and other details from there. For example, as you can see here, right now I am on Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial official website. Let's say I got a job offer from the employer name with Auto Impact Solucion Limited. So what I would do in this small search bar, I would type Auto Impact Solucion Limited. As you can see here, if employer is designated, I should find them in the search result. Moreover, from here I can verify its location even when they got designated by the Provinces and most importantly, type of anocicode category in which they are designated to offer a job offer. Now let me take this thing out. Now for example, let's say this time I got a job offer from employer name with E-Can Accounting. So I am going to do the same thing. I will find in the search bar E-Can Accounting. But as you can see here, this time I am not be able to found any record of that employer into the designated list which directly tells me that employer is not designated by this Provinces. There is no possible way that this employer can help me with my PR application through Atlantic pilot program. So by this way, you can verify employer's name, information and save yourself getting into the fraud. So for the accessibility, I have provided links of each and every provincial designated employer list into the description. Please check it out. Be careful over here. Most of the people got scammed by this point. You don't want to be a victim here. Next is about the job offer. When employer offers your job, it should be on a form of IMM5650. IMM5650 is offer of employment form for the foreign national. You have to sign that form and give it back to your employer. Your employer will need that later on the process of filing your permanent residency. So if any employer provides your job offer in any other form, you might want to be stuck there and think that must be something fishy over there. You can ask your employer to provide a job offer only on form IMM5650. I have provided the link to download the form IMM5650 into the description. Once you got a job offer, you need to work on your settlement plan with settlement service provider. Settlement service provider will give you a tailor-made specific plan for you as per your specific need and the family size. You have to submit that plan to your employer. So if you are not doing any of that process, you must be doing something wrong. Your employer may give you a contact of specific settlement service provider or you can choose it by yourself. I have provided a link in the description which give you the list of all the register settlement service provider with respective provings. Last but very important, under the Atlantic pilot, you can only apply for permanent residency when you receive endorsement certificate from the provings. When your employer submit sign copy of IMM5650 and settlement plan provided by you to prove in your government, they will process that application and if they approved it, they will send endorsement certificate direct to the candidate which means direct to you. Once you receive that endorsement certificate, you can apply for permanent residency straight away. But if you are not getting that certificate, think twice before going forward with any future step.
