Canada AIPP – Atlantic Pathway to Permanent Residency
Canada’s Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP) helps employers in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, and Prince Edward Island hire skilled workers and international graduates to meet labor shortages. It is an employer-driven initiative that connects qualified candidates directly with designated employers in the region.
