Over 12,700 newcomers were welcomed through the Atlantic Immigration Pilot, bolstering communities and aiding business success. To continue this momentum, we launched the permanent Atlantic Immigration Program. This initiative addresses labor shortages while aiding recovery from the pandemic.<\/p>\n On March 4, 2022, the Honourable Sean Fraser announced that the program would commence accepting applications on March 6, 2022. Candidates endorsed by Atlantic Canadian businesses can apply for permanent residency. This program aims to attract skilled newcomers, fueling economic recovery and regional growth.<\/p>\n Since 2017, the program has facilitated over 9,800 job offers in critical sectors like healthcare and manufacturing. Notably, over 90% of applicants remained in the region after a year, highlighting the welcoming nature of Atlantic Canadian communities.<\/p>\n The Atlantic Immigration Program positions Atlantic Canada as a prime destination for skilled workers and international graduates. It addresses demographic and economic challenges, setting the stage for a vibrant future.<\/p>\n For more details on the Atlantic Immigration Program, visit our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Newcomers have played a key role in strengthening communities across Atlantic Canada.
