Immigration & Visa so far

Job offers from any of the four Atlantic provinces can open your gate to obtain a Canada PR. Intended to resolve the skilled workforce shortage, increase the population, and enhance employment prospects, this is an ideal PR option for foreign nationals. Designated employers from these provinces who have not been able to fill positions locally with competent people might use this program to help identify qualified professionals and recruit them.

The Canadian government introduced the AIP to maintain the course of growth in the said four Atlantic Provinces. By choosing this program and receiving an invitation, the immigrant would become an integral part of the province and put their efforts into the province’s growth, development, and sustenance.

Atlantic Immigration Program has well-formulated eligibility criteria. Further, professionals with specified skills and qualifications can only apply for permanent residence under AIP.
