Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP)
According to the province’s latest announcement, the invitations were issued during the July 28, 2026 draw, with 400 invitations issued through the NLPNP and 45 invitations through the Atlantic Immigration Program. The draw reflects the province’s continued efforts to attract skilled workers to address labour shortages and support economic growth across Newfoundland and Labrador.
What Are the NLPNP and Atlantic Immigration Program?
The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is an employer-driven immigration pathway that helps designated employers in Atlantic Canada recruit qualified foreign workers and international graduates to fill labour shortages. Both programs play an important role in helping Newfoundland and Labrador attract and retain skilled talent needed to support the province’s economy.
