What Application Selection Means

The reported total of 203 refers to AIP applications selected for processing. It is not a count of federal Invitations to Apply (ITAs) or final provincial endorsements.

What Happens After an AIP Application Is Selected?

Selection for processing is not an endorsement. The province assesses the employer’s endorsement application and the supporting job offer, settlement plan and candidate documents.

• Provincial endorsement: A successful provincial assessment leads to a Certificate of Endorsement. Provincial support under the AIP does not guarantee federal permanent residence approval.
• Federal permanent residence application: Once endorsed, eligible candidates submit their application to IRCC through the Permanent Residence Portal, including the endorsement certificate and required supporting documents.
• Optional temporary work permit: Eligible candidates may apply with a qualifying job offer from a designated employer and a provincial referral letter. This AIP-specific permit is employer-specific; selection alone does not authorize work.

Comparison with Previous Selections in 2026

The latest update reports 203 applications selected across October 2, 9 and 29, 2026, compared with 63 reported across September 25 and October 2, 2026.

These are combined multi-date totals with an overlapping selection date. Without separate daily counts, calculating a net increase or adding the totals together is not reliable.
