Summary
Employer-driven permanent-residence pathway for skilled workers and international graduates who get a job offer from a designated employer in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI or Newfoundland & Labrador.
Dream spread
Permanent residence in Canada's Atlantic provinces, with employer-backed settlement support.
