Pilot Programs

Immigration pilots are limited-term programs specifically designed to address the needs of particular areas and communities in Canada. These pilot programs aim to bring unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled foreigners in to address these shortages by creating a path to permanent residence for those who want to live and work permanently in Canada.

Different Pilot Programs:

• AGRI-FOOD PILOT
  • The Agri-Food Pilot helps address the labour needs of the Canadian agri-food sector.
• ATLANTIC IMMIGRATION PROGRAM
  • The Atlantic Immigration Program is a pathway to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers and international graduates from a Canadian institution who want to work and live in 1 of Canada’s 4 Atlantic provinces—New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador.
• ECONOMIC MOBILITY PATHWAYS PILOT
  • The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) combines refugee resettlement and economic immigration.
• RURAL AND NORTHERN IMMIGRATION PILOT
  • The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot is a community-driven program. It’s designed to spread the benefits of economic immigration to smaller communities by creating a path to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers who want to work and live in one of the participating communities.
