The Atlantic Immigration Pilot is a pathway to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers and international graduates who want to work and live in one of Canada’s 4 Atlantic Provinces:

​

1. Newfoundland and Labrador

2. Prince Edward Island

3. Nova Scotia

4. 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 the pilot, 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 pilot.

​

If you receive a job offer from an employer:

• ask for a copy of the employer’s Confirmation of Designation, or

• tell them about the Atlantic Immigration Pilot and ask them to consider becoming designated, if they aren’t already.

​

As of June 1, 2019, your spouse or common-law partner can apply for an open work permit if:

• you have a work permit through the Atlantic Immigration Pilot, and

• your job is listed as Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A, B or C in the National Occupation Classification.
