Please be aware that although IRCC announced on December 17, 2021 that the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program would become a permanent program as of January 01, 2022, they did also mention that they will only open the applications window from March 06, 2022.  The time between opening the program and taking applications is for employers to become re-designated or desginated.  ICL Immigtation will be assisting employers to become designated during this time.
