Immigrate through the Atlantic Immigration Program

The Atlantic Immigration Program provides a road to permanent residence for qualified foreign employees and international graduates from a Canadian university who wish to live and work in one of Canada’s four Atlantic provinces, namely:  Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick,  Newfoundland and Labrador. The program assists employers in hiring qualified applicants for local positions they have been unable to fill.

The Atlantic Immigration Program offers qualified foreign employees and international graduates a path to permanent residence in one of Canada’s four Atlantic Provinces. This program is meant to help Atlantic Canadian firms hire skilled applicants for positions they have been unable to fill locally. To be eligible and participate in this program, you must get a job offer from a designated employer in Atlantic Canada.

To be eligible to move to Atlantic Canada through this scheme, you must either be;

• A recent graduate of a post-secondary institution in Atlantic Canada or a skilled worker
• You may be living overseas, or you may already be a temporary resident of Canada
