AIP 2026 priority sectors — healthcare, trades, and construction
The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) remains one of the most effective pathways for skilled professionals to secure permanent residence in Canada. In 2026, the program is laser-focused on filling critical labour shortages in three key sectors: healthcare, trades, and construction.
If you have experience in these fields, your chances of finding a designated employer and receiving a job offer are significantly higher.
1. Healthcare: The backbone of our communities
The demand for healthcare professionals in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador is at an all-time high. Roles like nurses, personal support workers (PSWs), and allied health professionals are in constant demand to support our aging population.
2. Trades and Construction: Building the future
With the rapid growth of communities in Atlantic Canada, the construction industry is booming. There is a massive need for:
Skilled tradespeople: Electricians, plumbers, and pipefitters.
Construction management: Professionals who can oversee large-scale industrial and residential projects.
