The Provincial Government has issued the first round of invitations for individuals that have submitted an expression of interest to immigrate to Newfoundland and Labrador.
Selected individuals have a full-time offer of employment from a Newfoundland and Labrador employer for a position that responds to a specific labour market demand in the province.
A total of 256 individuals received invitations, including 206 invited to apply through the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program and 50 through the Atlantic Immigration Program. Invitees have been informed they are now eligible to apply for nomination or endorsement through those programs.
The following factors were considered when selecting these individuals:
- Occupation, and alignment with current labour market priorities of the province.
- Valid temporary resident status in Newfoundland and Labrador.
- Strong ties to Newfoundland and Labrador (including individuals that graduated from post-secondary institutions located in the province).
- Job offers in rural and remote communities.
This round of invitations marks a milestone in implementing a more streamlined economic immigration process that aligns with Newfoundland and Labrador’s evolving labour market needs and reduced immigration capacity due to federal limits on application spaces. Updates on future rounds of invitations will be available on this webpage.
Future rounds of invitations from the expression of interest pool will be conducted as needed to meet program objectives and support Provincial Government priorities. Candidates who were not selected in this draw are encouraged to continue monitoring their email for potential future invitations.
