Good day,
lam reaching out about an AIP program eligibility criterion for international graduates from recognized secondary
institutions in Atlantic [requester] guidelines indicate that for these graduates to be exempted from the
ooztes
qualifying work experience requirement, they also need to demonstrate that they “lived in either New [requester], Newfoundland and Labrador or Prince Edward Island for at least 16 months within the last 2
years before getting their credential"
Do the 16 months have to be continuous? imagine this program accounts for standard breaks in study periods
such as summer and winter breaks and therefore the 16 months do not need to be continuous, but | would like
confirmation
Kind regards,
coats
