The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program is a fast-track immigration program designed to address labour market challenges in Atlantic Canada. This program helps employers hire skilled foreign workers who want to immigrate to Canada and International graduates who want to stay in Canada after they graduate.

The participating Atlantic provinces in this program are:

• Nova Scotia
• New Brunswick
• Newfoundland and Labrador
• Prince Edward Island

This program was initially introduced for a period of 3 years in 2017, however, due to the success of the program, it has been extended at least until the end of 2021.

There are three programs that employers can use to hire foreign workers:

• Atlantic International Graduate program,
• Atlantic High skilled program, and
• Atlantic Intermediate skilled program.

Process Flow:

• Employer designation:
  • Employer contacts Provincial Immigration office and expresses interest to hire a Temporary foreign worker
  • Employer contacts participating settlement service provider
  • Employer applies to become designated employer
  • Atlantic province designates the employer
  • Employer finds a worker and offers him a job
• Endorsement:
  • Employer connects the selected worker with the participating settlement service provider
  • Worker approaches the settlement service provider for needs assessment, after which he is provided with a settlement plan for self and family
  • Worker sends a copy of the settlement plan to the employer
  • Employer completes and submit the provincial endorsement application along with job offer and settlement plan to the province
  • Province reviews and approves the endorsement application and issues an endorsement letter to the worker
• Immigration Application:
  • Worker submits the permanent residence application to IRCC along with endorsement letter (and any other required documents)
  • IRCC processes the application (within six months or less)
  • Worker arrives at Atlantic Canada with family
