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.
Applicants with a valid job offer and settlement plan can apply for permanent residency through AIPP, often benefiting from faster processing times compared to other immigration streams. The program also provides added support for newcomers to integrate successfully into Atlantic communities.
