About the NLPNP
The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program allows the province to nominate skilled workers, international graduates, and professionals with in-demand skills. These candidates typically have job offers in key sectors such as health care, information technology, and natural resources. A provincial nomination provides candidates with a direct pathway to permanent residency, making it one of the most reliable immigration routes.
About the Atlantic Immigration Program
The Atlantic Immigration Program is a federal initiative in collaboration with Atlantic provinces, including Newfoundland and Labrador. It enables designated employers to hire qualified international candidates when no local workers are available. AIP is employer-driven, meaning applicants must secure a job offer from a designated employer before applying. This ensures that immigration aligns with real labor market needs in the province.
