The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has issued 256 invitations during its first economic immigration selection round. These invitations were strategically allocated between the Provincial Nominee Program (206) and the Atlantic Immigration Program (50), focusing on candidates with secured full-time employment offers that address critical labour market needs. The selection process prioritized candidates based on their occupational relevance to market requirements, current temporary resident status, established provincial connections, including local graduates, and positions within rural communities. This development marks a significant step toward a more efficient economic immigration process within federal application parameters.
