Atlantic Immigration Pilot

On March 1, 2019 we announced a 2-year extension of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot, as well as changes that give international graduates more time to apply, more flexibility for hiring health care professionals and changes to the requirements for temporary work permit applications (effective May 1, 2019).
