Nearly 200 employers have shown interest, with over 50 already designated. Employers are pivotal, responsible for recruiting immigrants and aiding their integration into communities.<\/p>\n Federal Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen and New Brunswick’s Minister for Post-Secondary Education, Donald Arseneault, discussed the pilot’s progress and future actions.<\/p>\n Provinces are tasked with designating participating employers and endorsing applicants for permanent residency. They also enhance coordination among employers, settlement service providers, and government services. The IRCC now accepts permanent residence applications for three programs under the pilot: Atlantic Intermediate-Skilled, Atlantic High-Skilled, and the Atlantic International Graduate Program for international students.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve made a promising start. Employers are eager to participate, and provinces are receiving applications.
