The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is a collaborative initiative between the Government of Canada and the Atlantic provinces, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador, designed to address local labor shortages and provide a streamlined route to permanent residence. At Kahlon Law Office, we are committed to guiding skilled workers, intermediate-skilled professionals, and international graduates through every step of this exciting opportunity.
The AIP enables qualified candidates to secure a full-time, non-seasonal job offer from a designated employer in one of Canada’s Atlantic provinces. Whether you are applying from abroad or already residing in Canada on temporary status, the program allows you to obtain work authorization while your permanent residence application is processed, paving the way for a smooth transition into your new community.
For Candidates:
In addition to a qualifying job offer, all candidates must meet minimum language proficiency requirements (CLB/NCLC 4 in English or French across all skills) and, in some cases, provide proof of settlement funds.
For Employers:
Atlantic employers experiencing labor shortages can tap into international talent through the AIP. Designation by the provincial government is required, which allows employers to extend job offers without the need for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), provided they comply with the program's criteria.
Immigration Application Process:
Submit your complete permanent residence application, including supporting documents such as your job offer, language test results, and settlement plan. In some cases, you may also be eligible to apply for a temporary work permit while awaiting the final decision on your permanent residence.
