How it works
As of November 2017, more than 650 Atlantic employers have become designated participants. They have recommended over 750 workers throughout the four provinces and 122 permanent resident applications have been submitted.

Employers from Atlantic Canada interested in participating in the AIP program to fill a full-time position will contact the Provincial Immigration Office to express interest. The employer is not required to fill out a labour market assessment to prove a labour or skill shortage.
