Immigration to the Atlantic provinces - Atlantic Immigration Program
The Atlantic Program allows workers of many professions to immigrate to Canada and has low language and money requirements.

Each province has a list of designated employers who can hire foreigners under the Atlantic Immigration Program.
Categories of candidates
