How to get Canada PR through the Atlantic Immigration Pilot?

Atlantic Canada comprises of 4 provinces namely Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.  Canada launched the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP) in 2017. The fast-track program allows employers in Atlantic Canada to hire foreign workers for jobs that cannot be filled locally.  Canada aims to welcome 7,000 immigrants and their families through the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program by 2021.  AIPP uses three programs to hire foreign workers. These are: 

• Atlantic High-Skilled Program 
• Atlantic International Graduate Program 
• Atlantic Intermediate-skilled Program 

A candidate may qualify for more than one of the above programs. However, you can only apply under any one program.  To be hired under AIPP, a candidate may be living outside Canada or within Canada temporarily.  The requirements of AIPP include:   Atlantic High-Skilled Program: 

• Candidate must have worked in a professional, skilled/technical or management job for at least 1 year 
• Candidate should hold a qualification which is equivalent to a Canadian high school diploma or above
