Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP) is a fast-track employer-driven immigration program. It allows employers from Canada’s four Atlantic provinces to employ immigrants and fill positions that they are not able to fill with the local market.
Canada’s four Atlantic provinces are Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island.
Any immigration applicant who is entering Canada through the AIP must receive a job offer from an employer in Atlantic Canada.
After an employer offers a job to a foreigner, and the job offer is accepted, the employer is required to connect the candidate with a designated settlement service provider organization. This helps the candidate to develop a settlement plan, or take a needs assessment.
If the employers need a candidate immediately for a job position, they can have access to a temporary work permit which helps a candidate to come to Canada sooner. The candidate must apply for a permanent residence within 90 days of the temporary work permit application.
