New Brunswick AIP Healthcare Employers: Who's Actually Hiring Without an LMIA

Key Summary:

• New Brunswick's Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) listings are currently dominated by continuing care, nursing, and pharmacy roles — not office jobs.
• Five employers account for the majorityof active healthcare postings tagged to the AIP pathway in New Brunswick right now, spanning 19 communities.
• One employer alone is hiring Personal Support Workers in nearly every region of the province — see who, and where.

Skip the LMIA Step

Under AIP, a designated New Brunswick employer can extend a job offer directly to a foreign national, and that offer supports a PR application without the employer first proving no Canadian could fill the role. For healthcare and continuing care — sectors New Brunswick has flagged as persistently short-staffed — this has made AIP one of the more realistic routes into the province for internationally trained and experienced candidates.

That said, AIP eligibility depends on the specific employer holding active designation and the specific role meeting the pathway's occupation, wage, and language requirements. Designation status can change, and not every open posting from a participating employer is automatically an AIP-eligible offer. This is exactly why a named, current list matters more than a general description of the program.

Who's Actually Hiring Under AIP Right Now

QuestJobs' database currently shows 846 open roles tagged to the Atlantic Immigration Program, with 183 of those based in New Brunswick. Here's the breakdown.

Shannex

New Brunswick's largest senior care operator has 11 AIP-tagged postings open across Fredericton, Moncton, Quispamsis, and Saint John, including Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, Health Services Manager (RN), and Continuing Care Assistant roles through its ongoing talent pipeline.

Horizon Health Network

New Brunswick's regional health authority has 3 AIP-tagged postings live in Fredericton for Medical Laboratory Professionals, Pharmacist, and Respiratory Therapist positions — all accepting applications through Horizon's own hiring portal.

Kindred Home Care

The largest single source of NB healthcare postings on QuestJobs right now: 20 Personal Support Worker roles spread across 19 communities, from Saint John and Moncton to smaller regions like Boiestown, Grand Manan, Richibucto, and White Head Island — a strong signal of how widespread home-care demand is outside the province's main cities.

Northern Carleton Pharmacy / Pharmacy For Life

A community pharmacy group with 4 AIP-tagged postings across Florenceville-Bristol, Moncton, and Saint John, including Staff Pharmacist, Community Pharmacist, and Registered Pharmacy Technician roles.

A note on how to read this list: appearing in QuestJobs' AIP-tagged listings means an employer currently has open roles that match the pathway's occupation criteria in our database — it is not our confirmation that every listed role currently carries an active provincial designation or a guaranteed sponsorship offer. Some employers and roles across the portal are marked "eligible" (they meet the pathway's baseline criteria) rather than confirmed designated — you can browse those separately, flagged as blue-verified, here. Eligible/blue-verified does not mean designated or guaranteed to sponsor.

How to Use This List

Before you apply to any of the roles above, check directly with the employer about their current sponsorship policies, their AIP designation status, and your own eligibility before accepting any offer. This blog is only a guide to help you focus your search — QuestJobs did not consult with any of the companies named above, and none of this is a substitute for confirming details directly with the employer or a licensed immigration professional. QuestJobs is not a licensed immigration consultant or a recruitment agency.

Practical next steps: confirm the posting is still live, ask the employer plainly whether they intend to support an AIP application for the role, and get the designation and offer details in writing before you make any decisions based on this pathway.
