Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP)

The Atlantic Immigration Pilot is a way for qualified foreign workers and international graduates who wish to work and live in one of Canada's four Atlantic provinces to obtain permanent residence: Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
Pilot programs were launched in 2017 to help employers in Atlantic Canada hire skilled foreign workers who wish to immigrate to Atlantic Canada and international graduates who want to remain in Atlantic Canada after graduation.

Due to its success, the government has committed to making the pilot project a permanent plan. It will continue to be the flagship regional economic immigration program, complementing the provincial nomination programs of the Atlantic provinces.
