Note: Starting in early March 2017, Pilot candidates will be able to apply for a temporary work permit if the job needs to be filled urgently. If your future employer would like you to apply for a temporary work permit first, you will need to commit to apply for permanent residence within 90 days of your application being submitted.
More details will be available March 2017.
Job offer
You must have a job offer that is:
from a designated employer in an Atlantic province (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward Island)

Proof of funds – Skilled immigrants (Atlantic Immigration Pilot)
Note: We update these numbers every year based on 12.5 per cent of the [low income cut-off] totals. You may want to double-check that you still have enough money, based on the new cut-off, to support your family if you immigrate to Canada. This change is small but there is a chance it could affect your eligibility.
You must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you get to Canada unless you are working in Canada under a valid work permit.
You cannot borrow this money from another person. You must be able to use this money to pay the costs of living for your family (even if they are not coming with you).
You will need to show proof to the Canadian visa office in your home country that you have enough money when you apply to immigrate.
The amount of money you need to support your family is set by the size of your family. We update these amounts every year.

How much money should you bring?
It is a good idea to research how much it costs to live in the place where you plan to settle in Canada.
Bring as much money as you can to make moving and finding a home in Canada easier. Note, however, that Canadian customs regulations require you to declare if you are bringing more than CAN$10,000 into Canada.
If you do not tell them, you may be fined, and your funds could be seized. These funds could be in the form of:
cash,
documents that show property or capital payable to you (such as stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.), or
documents that guarantee payment of a set amount of money, which are payable to you (such as bankers’ drafts, cheques, travellers’ cheques or money orders).
Ministerial Instructions 23 (MI23): Atlantic Immigration Pilot
Effective March 6, 2017, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship’s (IRCC) twenty third set of Ministerial Instructions (MI 23) introduced the Atlantic Immigration Pilot.
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot consists of three programs designed to provide workers with permanent residency and facilitate their integration into the region with employer support. Eligible skilled immigrants and international graduate students with a job offer from a designated employer in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador and an endorsement from the province, can apply for permanent residence. The Pilot will run for three years until December 31, 2019.
对应 NOC Skill level C 的职业,申请人都要满足近3年内1年相关工作经验才可以申请。
within the last three years, you have accumulated at least one year of full-time (or part-time equivalent) work experience in your primary occupation at Skill level C (intermediate jobs which usually need a high school or job-specific training, such as long-haul truck drivers, butchers, food and beverage servers, etc.) of the National Occupation Classification (NOC) matrix.
另外 AIPP 项目与加拿大联邦EE项目一样,对受管制职业也不要求申请时就满足注册要求。
For regulated occupations, you do not need to meet Canadian licensing requirements.
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP), launched in March 2017, is a three–year employer driven immigration program aimed at addressing skill gaps and labour market needs in Atlantic Canada. The Newfoundland and Labrador Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism (OIM) is authorized by the Federal Government through Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to annually approve up to 442 endorsement applications for permanent residency.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) is authorized by the Federal Government through Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to issue up to 1,050 certificates of nomination for the calendar year.
Am I eligible to endorse a foreign national? - AIP
To be eligible to endorse a foreign national you must be a designated employer.
What is the process? - AIP
You must first identify a foreign national that you want to endorse through the program and complete the job offer template(link is external). The foreign national must then approach an approved Settlement Service Provider(link is external) with a copy of their job offer and your designation letter and get a settlement plan prepared. You must then submit the job offer, endorsement application, and settlement plan to our office.
