The Atlantic Immigration Program is a pathway to permanent residency for skilled foreign workers and international graduates who want to work and live in one of Canada’s 4 Atlantic Provinces: Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.  This is an employer-driven program designed to help employers in Atlantic Canada hire qualified candidates for jobs they have been unable to fill locally.

To immigrate to Atlantic Canada through this program, you must be a recent graduate of a publicly funded institution in Atlantic Canada OR a skilled worker who meets the program requirements.  You can be living abroad or already be in Canada temporarily.  You must receive a job offer from a designated employer in Atlantic Canada to participate in the program.
