Provincial Nominee Program
The Newfoundland and Labrador
Provincial Nominee Program seeks to recruit immigrants who have specialized occupational
or entrepreneurial skills. Through an agreement with the Government of Canada, the Government of Newfoundland and
Labrador may nominate immigrants, who can contribute to the economic and social goals of the province, for
permanent resident status.
Nominees must settle in Newfoundland and Labrador and have sufficient ability to communicate in either English or French. Depending upon the program
category in which an application is submitted, specific financial and other criteria will apply.
The categories of the Provincial Nominee Program are:

existing provincial labour market. Applicants much have either a
guaranteed job offer from a local
employer or be currently employed within the province on a valid
work permit.

This category is for immigrant families living in Newfoundland and Labrador
who want to help their overseas family members relocate and work in the
province.
International Graduate
