A Larger Round After Five Shrinking Ones
At 57 invitations, the November 9 round is more than double the 25 issued on November 4. It breaks a run of five consecutive smaller rounds: 126 on October 16, 120 on October 23, 85 on October 29, 50 on November 2 and 25 on November 4.
Together, the three November rounds have issued 132 invitations so far this month.
Largest AIP Share Since August
Twenty-two of the 57 invitations, almost 39%, went through the Atlantic Immigration Program. That is the most AIP invitations in a single round since August 26, when 46 were issued. In the ten rounds between those two dates, the AIP received between zero and 10 invitations per round.
The AIP is employer-driven: candidates need a job offer from a designated Newfoundland and Labrador employer, so AIP numbers tend to follow employer demand rather than the size of the EOI pool.
The Province Reaches 3,289 Invitations for 2026
Across twenty-three selection rounds so far in 2026, the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism has issued 3,289 ITAs in total — 2,859 under the NLPNP and 430 through the Atlantic Immigration Program.

How Newfoundland and Labrador Selects Candidates
Since February 19, 2025, both the NLPNP and the province’s share of the Atlantic Immigration Program have operated through a single Expression of Interest pool. Candidates submit an EOI profile rather than a full application, and the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism reviews the pool and issues Invitations to Apply in batches through the year.
Only candidates who receive an ITA may submit a complete application. The province does not publish a minimum score for its rounds, and it does not announce round dates in advance.
The province publishes each round on its Invitations to Apply (ITA) Updates page. A full history of this year’s rounds is maintained on our Newfoundland immigration draws page.
Express Entry and the NLPNP
Candidates nominated through the NLPNP Express Entry Skilled Worker category receive an additional 600 points toward their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, which in practice guarantees an invitation in a subsequent federal Express Entry round.
