About Atlantic Gateway Immigration

Atlantic Gateway Immigration is a Halifax consultancy specialising in Atlantic Canada immigration pathways, with particular expertise in the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) and the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot. The firm helps skilled workers and international graduates navigate the Atlantic provinces' employer-driven immigration programs, which require a designated employer offer before a provincial endorsement can be issued. The Atlantic provinces — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador — each have distinct immigration programs beyond the AIP, and Atlantic Gateway Immigration holds deep knowledge of Nova Scotia's various PNP streams. Halifax's growing technology and ocean industries sectors create specific demand for work permits and PR pathways that the firm regularly processes.
