Atlantic Immigration Pilot

The Atlantic Immigration Pilot is a pathway to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers and international graduates who want to work and live in one of Canada’s 4 Atlantic Provinces:

As of June 1, 2019, your spouse or common-law partner can apply for an open work permit if:

• you have a work permit through the Atlantic Immigration Pilot, and
• your job is listed as Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A, B or C in the National Occupation Classification.

This is an employer-driven program designed to help employers in Atlantic Canada hire qualified candidates for jobs they have been unable to fill locally.
