The details are as follows
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot is an immigration program that is expected to invite skilled workers from overseas, and international graduates from institutions in the region, to immigrate permanently to the four provinces of Atlantic Canada. To expedite the process, it is stated that a Labour Market Impact Assessment — a document obtained by an employer to prove that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident was able or willing to fill the position — is NOT REQUIRED in order to extend an offer of employment to a skilled worker from overseas.
Three Categories Defined
There are three broad categories contained within the pilot program:
The Atlantic High-Skilled Program (AHSP), targeting candidates with a qualifying job offer for a one-year contract for full-time employement in a position at level 0, A, or B of the National Occupational Classification (NOC);
The Atlantic Intermediate-Skilled Program (AISP), targeting candidates with a qualifying job offer of indeterminate duration for full-time employment in a position at level 0, A, B, or C of the NOC; and
The Atlantic International Graduate Program (AIGP), targeting international graduates of post-secondary study programs of at least two years' duration, undertaken at a publicly-funded institution in the Atlantic region. Such graduates are also required to have a qualifying job offer.
