Please see our response to your enquiry, below: Candidates who want to apply under the AIP must have accumulated at least 1 year of fulltime (or part-time equivalent, meaning at least 1,560 hours) work experience within the last 5 years. These hours can be accumulated through part-time or full-time employment, but volunteering or unpaid internships will not count. The work experience must match the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 [requester], Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) categories. These categories range from TEER 0, which includes management- level jobs, to TEER 4, which includes intermediate roles that require some experience or training. It is crucial that the applicant's job duties and responsibilities are in line with those outlined in the NOC for the specific occupation. This ensures the experience is relevant and recognized for the purpose of meeting requirements. Please see the following link for more information regarding AIP Work Experience requirements: https://www.conada.ca/en/immigrotion-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/atlantic-immigration/how. to-immigrote/eligibility.htmitwork experience. We also recommend that you visit t/ie following too! that provides a description of each NOC category available, including: job duties, employment requirements, and examples of titles. Thank you kindly, [requester] De Envoyé: [requester] A: : Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRC) <[requester email]> Objet: [requester] Dear [requester], | am writing to make two inquiries regarding the qualifying work experience requirement under the Atlantic Immigration Program: 1. 1. Under this program, does a successful applicant needs to have work experience in the same and/or related NOC Codes as their Job Offer, from the AIP designed employer? If not, is it ok if the qualifying work experience is 000887

in an unrelated NOC Code, as long as the applicant can demonstrate they have obtained the necessary ability fo perform the job being offered (via studies and/or work experience less that 1 year in duration and/or unpaid employment experience) 2. 2. What does the requirement “Count hours that were accumulated over a period of at least 12 months"? Can an applicant meet this requirement of qualifying work experience, if they have worked a few months each year in the 5 year eligibility period, adding up to 1 year in total? Or does the qualifying work experience have to be obtained within a 12 months period with reasonable allowance for vacation and sick leave. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for all your assistance. [NAME REDACTED] 0098s
