Organizations throughout Newfoundland and Labrador are reminded that the last date to submit concept notes for the 2022-23 call for enhanced settlement services is 11:59 p.m. NST on January 21, 2022. The Provincial Government works with partner organizations every year to enhance settlement services so that newcomers get the services and supports they need to feel they truly belong and have found a new home.

This year, priority will be given to proposals in a number of key areas, including foreign qualification recognition. For many newcomers who have practiced in professions outside of Canada, identifying ways to recognize foreign credentials represents a path toward unlocking the full potential in their careers and in their contributions to the economy.

Submissions will follow a new two-stage process. Stage one has prospective partners submitting a short concept note of the services they intend to offer. These preliminary outlines will be reviewed by officials to determine if they will address key priority areas. In stage two, applicants with concept notes that have been chosen by officials will be invited to submit a comprehensive proposal for a final evaluation.

The Funding Guidelines for 2022-23 provide more details on these themes and priority areas. For full details visit Call for Proposals.

Potential applicants are encouraged to email any questions to immigration@gov.nl.ca.
