On November 18, Newfoundland and Labrador’s provincial government announced a new immigration pathway that will look to retain newcomers who already live in the province.
And the province is also looking to attract educated and highly skilled newcomers to stay in their province.
The new immigration pathway, Priority Skills Newfoundland and Labrador, under the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) is going to focus on highly educated and highly skilled candidates with work experience in specialized industries such as technology.
This program is expected to launch on January 2, 2021.
This move will look after the province’s labour shortages in certain high-growth sectors. The new pathway comes as a response to employers’ growing demand for skilled and experienced workers, the province says in a media release.
Who is eligible for the Priority Skills pathway?
Masters or PhD graduates of Memorial University who graduated within the last three years with a degree related to information and communication technology, ocean technology, healthcare, agriculture and aquaculture.
In addition, professionals with work experience in the following highly skilled high-demand occupations will be considered:
Software Developer

UI/UX Developer
Electrical Engineer
AI Developer
Mechanical Engineer
Python Developer
.NET Developer
Infrastructure Engineer
Security Specialist
Cloud Specialist

Applicants are required to demonstrate the language proficiency in English by taking one of the following language tests and scoring equivalent to Canadian Language Benchmark level 5 or more.
Other ways to immigrate to Newfoundland and Labrador
The NLPNP is divided into five categories: Express Entry Skilled Worker category, Skilled Worker category, International Graduate category, International Entrepreneur category and the International Graduate Entrepreneur category.
The Express Entry Skilled Worker category allows the province to nominate skilled workers through Canada’s federal Express Entry system. Nominated individuals need to have job offers in the province.
The Skilled Worker category targets individuals who have received a job offer from an employer in the province. This category also targets those who are already working in the province on a valid work permit.
The International Entrepreneur category is for those who wish to settle in the province and start or purchase a business. Candidates are required to operate their business for one year in the province prior to applying.
In addition to these five categories, individuals who wish to reside in Newfoundland and Labrador also have the option of applying through the Atlantic Immigration Pilot. To qualify, candidates must also have a job offer in the province.
