The Atlantic Immigration Program, and why employers here like it
1 min read
The Atlantic Immigration Program exists because the four Atlantic provinces need workers and know that keeping them matters as much as attracting them. That shows in how the programme is built.
How it differs from a normal work permit route
| Feature | Atlantic Immigration Program |
|---|---|
| LMIA required | No |
| Employer status | Must be designated by the province |
| Settlement plan | Required, from a designated organisation |
| Outcome | Permanent residence, not a temporary permit |
| Job offer length | Typically at least one year, non-seasonal |
