Newfoundland and Labrador have issued a total of 1,818 immigration invitations as of August 6, 2025.
Under the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) 1,495 candidates were invited and 323 candidates received their invitation through the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).
In 2025, the total nomination allocation for the Provincial Nominee Program is 2,050. That means 555 nomination spaces are still available for the rest of the year. There are still 152 nomination spots available for the Atlantic Immigration Program, which has a total allotment of 475.
These figures demonstrate how the province is carefully controlling immigration to ensure that it meets local job needs while adhering to the yearly limits set for the programs.
Since February 2025, Newfoundland and Labrador has undergone many changes in its immigration process. The province moved from a first-come-first-served system to an Expression of Interest (EOI) for both NLPNP and AIP.
To get qualified, interested candidates must:
Your EOI should reflect the province's ongoing interests, emphasizing experience or skills in sectors critical to Newfoundland and Labrador's growth.
Newfoundland and Labrador prioritize these sectors to address the local labour shortages and bolster economic growth:
If you have a job offer or experience in these priority fields, you won't just get faster processing—you will also be exempt from some of the usual labour market rules. For more information about the specific in-demand jobs please visit the province's official website.
For newcomers and families eyeing Newfoundland and Labrador as their new home, staying tuned to program updates, understanding priority sectors, and preparing a strong, relevant EOI will maximize your chances in upcoming draws.
