Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced Thursday that candidates with a valid endorsement from an Atlantic Canadian business will now be able to submit applications for permanent residency.

Over 90 per cent of applicants who’ve come to the region under the program since 2017 are reported to still be living in the region after a year.
