The Atlantic Immigration Program operates as a partnership between Canada’s federal government and the four provinces in the region:
1. Nova Scotia
2. New Brunswick
3. Newfoundland & Labrador
4. Prince Edward Island
It is an employer-led program that aims to bring candidates to the region to fill positions for which Canadian citizens and permanent residents are not available.
To hire through the AIP, employers do not need a Labour Market Impact Assessment. Instead, they must meet requirements to become designated to make job offers.
