Canada’s four Atlantic Provinces are Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island.
Any immigration candidate who is arriving in Canada through the AIP must have received a job offer from an employer in Atlantic Canada.
If employers need to fill a position quickly, they may have access to a temporary work permit. That way, the candidate can come to Canada sooner. The candidate must commit to applying for permanent residence within 90 days of the temporary work permit application.
