The Atlantic Immigration Program is a pathway to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers who want to work and live in 1 of Canada’s 4 Atlantic provinces—New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland and Labrador.

To apply, you must:

• in the last 5 years, you must have worked at least 1,560 hours. This is the number of hours you would have worked in 1 year if you were working 30 hours per week (unless you’re an international graduate of a recognized post-secondary institution in Atlantic Canada)
• meet or exceed the educational requirements:
  • A Canadian one-year post-secondary (or higher) educational credential (for jobs in NOC 0 & 1)
  • A Canadian or foreign high school diploma (for jobs in NOC 2, 3, & 4)
• meet or exceed the language requirements
  • CLB/NCLC 5 for TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3
  • CLB/NCLC 4 for TEER 4
• show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family when you get to Canada (unless you are already living and working in Canada)
