What the Data Says (QuestJobs POV)

Hospitality & Retail keep the lights on
Expect a large share of postings in food service, retail supervision, and customer-facing roles. These jobs remain the backbone of AIP for many communities—year-round, predictable scheduling, and high churn → more frequent opportunities.

Transport & Logistics are reliable PR routes
Class-3/5 drivers, delivery, and warehouse/ship-receive roles surface repeatedly. If you have clean licensing and can handle shift work, this lane often moves quickly.

Care & Community support is steady demand
Personal support, home care, and community service worker roles appear consistently. If you have relevant experience/certification (or can obtain it promptly), it’s a strong AIP bet.

General labour & trades helpers are still hot
Food processing, manufacturing helpers, and basic maintenance roles continue to appear—great fit if you need a pragmatic, fast path into a designated employer.

How to Use This (Job-Seeker Playbook)

1) Start with designated employers.
Make sure to create trial account at QuestJobs to make your search sustainable. All of the jobs and companies in the portal are update real time. In your dashbaord make sure to save your CV so as to make use of the CV analyzer feature. Prioritize those posting multiple roles (higher throughput).

2) Match your résumé to the NOC.
Use the exact job title (or accepted NOC title variants), mirror the duties in bullets, and include shift/availability if the role needs it. Keep it ATS-friendly and no heavy graphics in your CV. Graphics do not help with your application, it can actually work against your application. Focus on ATS. Make sure to use the CV analyzer feature of QuestJobs. This feature can increase your probability of landing an interview by 70%. 

3) Build an AIP-ready profile.

Language proof (CLB 4+ for most roles)

References + experience letters that match the duties

Clear intention to settle in Atlantic Canada

Year-round availability (non-seasonal)

4) Apply early + follow up.
For repeat posters, fast follow-ups matter. If your background fits, ask directly:
“Is this role intended to be supported under the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)?”

5) Use QuestJobs filters to cut noise.
On QuestJobs, filter to AIP-eligible + designated employers and sort by freshness to target interviews this week—not last month.

What is the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)?

AIP is an employer-driven PR pathway for Atlantic Canada (NB, NS, NL, PEI). Designated employers can support foreign workers and international grads for PR once program eligibility is met. Core guardrails:

Full-time, non-seasonal job offer from an AIP-designated employer

Meets NOC/TEER, wage, language (often CLB 4+), and work experience rules

Settlement plan + employer commitment to onboarding/integration

Bottom line: If the job is year-round, from a designated employer, and you meet AIP criteria, you can pursue PR through this route. To widen your opportunites, make sure to check the other PNP's and PR eligible jobs we have in the portal. There are over 30,000 jobs in the portal today updated on a daily basis. 

Quick FAQs

Do I need a LMIA?
AIP uses designated employers and its own requirements—this is separate from LMIA-based streams.

Can international students use AIP?
Yes—if the offer is full-time, non-seasonal, and from a designated employer, and you meet AIP criteria. (Your PGWP status can help for timing, but PR is through AIP.)

What if my role isn’t on your Top 10?
No problem—these are just the most frequent. Plenty of one-off roles lead to PR if they’re non-seasonal and employer-designated.
