Newfoundland and Labrador
Overview
Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP)
Located in the eastern reaches of Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador is a province like no other. Its unique geographical makeup comprises the island of Newfoundland and the mainland Labrador, boasting a rich cultural heritage, a burgeoning economy, and exciting prospects for newcomers.
The NLPNP: Bridging Skilled Immigrants and Provincial Needs
The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) has been fostering a symbiotic relationship between skilled immigrants and the province’s labor market since 1999. At its core, the NLPNP is driven by the vision of strengthening the province’s economy by filling skill gaps with top-tier workers, visionary entrepreneurs, and international graduates.
Elevating Immigration in NL
Annually, Newfoundland and Labrador extend a warm welcome to around 1,200 new immigrants, a number poised to grow to 1,700. The recent integration of NLPNP with the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) has thrown open the doors wider than ever before, making this province an attractive destination for those seeking new opportunities.
Understanding Express Entry and PNP Streams
NLPNP aligns with the Express Entry system through its NL Express Entry Skilled Worker stream. A provincial nomination through this stream brings an additional 600 CRS points, significantly enhancing your prospects in the subsequent Express Entry draws. One of the key highlights of this stream is its expedited processing, taking approximately six months.
