Hello, this is NohProblem Consulting, your source for the latest information on Canadian immigration.
Today, we have news about the temporary suspension of applications for Food Supervisors in Nova Scotia.
Let’s take a closer look!
Temporary Suspension of Food Supervisor Applications
On April 17, Nova Scotia announced a temporary suspension of applications for the Accommodation and Food Service sectors under the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) and the Nova Scotia Experience Express Entry (NSEEE) immigration streams.
This suspension includes positions in short-term accommodation services such as motels, hotels, and resorts, specifically for occupations classified under NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes 721 and 722.
This time, it has been announced that applications for Food Supervisors – NOC 62020 under both the AIP and NSEEE will be temporarily suspended.
What is the AIP (Atlantic Immigration Program)?
The AIP is an immigration program implemented in the four provinces adjacent to the Atlantic: Nova Scotia (NS), New Brunswick (NB), Prince Edward Island (PEI), and Newfoundland (NL). It was transformed from a pilot program in 2017 to a regular immigration program in 2022.
Key advantages of the AIP include:
✅ Lower minimum English language requirements compared to other immigration programs
✅ Relatively lower qualification criteria
✅ Faster permanent residency application process and employment stability
✅ Recognition of overseas experience
✅ No age restrictions
✅ Temporary work permits issued during processing, eliminating the need for an LMIA
These features make the AIP one of the most popular immigration programs.
The program types include:
♦︎ Atlantic High Skilled Program (AHSP)
♦︎ Atlantic Intermediate Skilled Program (AISP)
♦︎ Atlantic International Graduate Program (AIGP)
Each type has its own characteristics.
What is the NSEEE (Nova Scotia Experience Express Entry) Program?
The NSEEE is an express entry program implemented by the Nova Scotia provincial government. Applicants can apply for permanent residency if they meet the conditions of both the Nova Scotia provincial government and the Express Entry system.
Requirements include:
✅ At least one year of experience in Nova Scotia, Canada
✅ Aged 21 to 55
✅ English language requirements of CLB 7 (for NOC 0, 1) or CLB 5 (for NOC 2, 3), similar to Express Entry
Currently, the suspension of Food Supervisor applications applies only to Nova Scotia (NS) among the four provinces implementing the AIP program.
