PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

The Canada Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program, or AIPP for short, is a pilot program established to address the shortage of skilled workers in the Atlantic region of Canada, applicable to 4 provinces: New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

This program helps workers settle and receive benefits as Canadian citizens. In addition, it helps organizations and businesses attract and retain global talent to create more jobs. At the same time, it supports population growth, provides skilled labor to Canada, and increases the employment rate in the region.

The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program has three options:

  • The Atlantic High-Skilled Program (AHSP): for international students graduating with high skills and work experience outside of Canada.
  • The Atlantic International Graduate Program (AIGP): for international students graduating from a post-secondary institution in Atlantic Canada.
  • The Atlantic Intermediate-Skilled Program (AISP): for skilled workers with intermediate skills and work experience in the Atlantic provinces.

Of these options, the Atlantic High-Skilled Program (AHSP) and the Atlantic International Graduate Program (AIGP) are for those who want to apply for permanent residency through studying and working in Canada.

NOTE: Job requirements will need to be skilled type/national occupational classification (NOC) skill level 0, A, or B
