Become a Designated Employer under the Atlantic Immigration Program

The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is a federal immigration program that allows employers in Canada’s four Atlantic provinces—Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island—to hire foreign nationals for jobs they haven’t been able to fill locally.
