Newfoundland and Labrador has issued 100 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residence pathways aimed at addressing skilled labour needs in the province.
According to the October 22 draw results:
- 55 invitations were issued under the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP).
- 45 invitations were issued through the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).
Both programs support employers in filling labour shortages by attracting skilled workers who have the intention to live and work in Newfoundland and Labrador long term.
The NLPNP allows the province to select candidates with skills aligned to current labour market priorities, while the AIP provides a streamlined pathway for skilled foreign workers and international graduates with approved job offers from designated employers in Atlantic Canada.
This draw reflects Newfoundland and Labrador’s continued emphasis on targeted immigration to support regional development, population growth, and key economic sectors experiencing persistent labour shortages.
