The Atlantic Immigration Pilot is a most optimized plan of migration that permits employers in Canada’s four Atlantic regions – Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island – to offer foreign nationals for employments that they couldn’t fill locally.
When an employer finds an applicant who meets their business needs and the program criteria, that business should initially offer them an occupation. Applicants don’t have to obtain a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) under this program.
An applicant that need to fill a job requirement will approach for acquiring a temporary work permit, with the goal that the applicant and his or her family can come to Canada as quickly as time permits. To get this work license, the applicant will require:
The work experience, education, and job offer required will depend on whether the individual is applying as a worker or as an international student graduate. The other requirements are the same for both the Atlantic immigration.

The AIPP is a migration experimental run program, presented in 2017. It permits qualified skilled workers, semi-skilled labourers, and international graduates to become a permanent resident of Canada and move to one of the Atlantic areas i.e Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. All projects under the AIPP are employer-driven, implying that candidates require a job offer to fulfil the criteria.
The employer requirement procedure is different for each area as each area has its own governance and guidelines. The four areas are as follows:
In all cases, the employer must send the job offer, the residency plan for every family member, and a support application to the area for processing.
