About Us

What is the Atlantic Immigration Program?

The AIP allows employers in Atlantic Canada to hire foreign workers and international graduates for jobs they haven’t been able to fill locally. With a valid job offer from a designated Atlantic employer, applicants can apply for permanent residence and, in many cases, begin working while their PR application is being processed.

Provinces that Accept AIP

Although New Brunswick is an excellent choice for immigration under the AIP, one should remember the current state of the program in other provinces of the Atlantic:

  • New Brunswick: Applications to endorse shut as of April 4, 2025, throughout the year.
  • Nova Scotia:  Since April 17, 2024, has been accepting the endorsement applications with limitations in the case of the Accommodation and Food Services sector (NAICS 72).
  • Prince Edward Island (PEI): Accepting applications in 3 sectors, including healthcare, construction, and manufacturing.
  • Newfoundland and Labrador: Currently accepting applications without any stated restrictions.
