Atlantic Immigration Program

Introduction

If you're planning to move to Canada for a peaceful lifestyle, better job opportunities, and a direct path to permanent residency, the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) could be the perfect option for you. This federal immigration program is designed specifically for skilled workers and international graduates who wish to settle in one of Canada’s four beautiful eastern provinces—Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador.

What makes AIP different is that it’s employer-driven, meaning applicants must first receive a valid job offer from a designated employer in one of the Atlantic provinces. Once you have the job offer, the rest of the process becomes streamlined, allowing you to apply for PR faster than many other pathways. This program was launched to support population growth, meet labor market needs, and support economic development in the region.

AIP is ideal for—

• Skilled workers looking for job security and permanent residency
• International graduates from eligible institutions in Atlantic Canada
• Those wanting a quieter, family-friendly lifestyle with lower living costs

The process includes a settlement plan that ensures your smooth transition into the community. From job offers to settlement support, AIP is designed to help newcomers integrate successfully and build a better life in Canada.

Who Is Eligible for AIP?

You can apply under the Atlantic Immigration Program if—

• You have a valid full-time job offer from a designated employer in one of the Atlantic provinces.
• You’ve completed at least one year of full-time work experience in the last five years (unless you’re applying as a recent graduate).
• You meet the minimum education requirement, which is usually a Canadian high school diploma or an equivalent foreign credential assessed by ECA.
• You achieve at least CLB 4 in English or French (basic level).
• You have enough settlement funds, unless you are already living and working in Canada.

Popular Jobs in Demand Under AIP

The Atlantic provinces consistently hire for roles across various sectors. Some of the most commonly recruited jobs include

• Nurses and healthcare workers
• Truck drivers and delivery staff
• Food service supervisors and restaurant managers
• Cleaners and housekeeping staff
• IT professionals and tech support roles
• Admin assistants and clerical staff
• Retail store managers and associates

While job demand may change, the key is to secure an offer from a designated Atlantic employer. That’s where GlobesWay can help.
