Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)

ALTANTIC IMMIGRATION PROGRAM

The Atlantic Immigration Program is a way to obtain permanent residency if you are an intermediate-skilled or a skilled foreign worker. Also, if you are an international student who graduated from a Canadian Institution and wished to live and work in one of the four Atlantic provinces of Canada: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador.

This is an immigration program that enables employers to recruit highly qualified individuals for job positions that have remained unfulfilled due to a lack of locally qualified employees.

It is a specifically designed program for employers in Atlantic Canada to appoint a skilled workforce. You must receive an employment offer from Atlantic Canada to participate in the Atlantic Immigration Program.

Here are some factors that may qualify you for the program:

Be a fresh graduate from a well-known post-secondary educational institute situated in Atlantic Canada

Intermediate-Skilled or Skilled Worker

Temporarily residing in Canada

Temporarily living abroad

Suitable work experience

Meet or surpass the academic qualifications

Meet or exceed language requirements

Are financially eligible to support yourself and your family once you get to Canada
