Designated Atlantic Canada Employers

🇫🇷 Français

Atlantic Canada organizes an employer-driven immigration program to invite immigrants from all over the world to settle in any of the four Atlantic Canada provinces; Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador as permanent residents.

The main aim of this immigration program is to help designated Atlantic Canada Employers recruit skilled workers and retain global talent to improve the employment rate in the provinces and support economic growth.

The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) Framework

The permanent Atlantic Immigration Program operates via primary tracks based on job offer categories and TEER alignments rather than legacy pilot definitions:
• Atlantic High-Skilled and Intermediate-Skilled tracks mapped to NOC TEER Categories 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
• Atlantic International Graduate track dedicated to international student graduates from recognized post-secondary institutions in Atlantic Canada.

For applying to any of the Atlantic Immigration Program, a foreign national is required to have a job offer from a designated Atlantic Canada employer in addition to a settlement plan for themselves on arrival.

The job offers by the designated employers must be approved by the respective Atlantic Canadian province before the immigrant applies for the AIP for permanent residence.

The employer is designated by the respective provincial authority after fulfilling the requirements, such as a commitment to support newcomers with their families while they move into a new life in Atlantic Canada.

To Become a Designated Employer

• An employer is required to have a good standing.
• The organization must have been functioning for the last 2 years in Atlantic provinces.
• They must commit to working with a service provider organization on settlement and retention.

To Have Employer Position Endorsement

• Employers must display that they have been unsuccessful in hiring locals.
• They must recruit a foreign worker.
• They must offer a valid, full-time, non-seasonal job offer as per an applicable NOC TEER category.
