Immigrating to Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador has two immigration programs for skilled workers, international graduates, and entrepreneurs to settle here with their families and gain permanent residence. These programs also help local employers find workers.

The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP)

  • Nominates people for permanent residence.
  • Is a quick process for skilled workers, graduates, and entrepreneurs.
  • Gives newcomers and employers support from Immigration Program Development Officers.
