Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NL PNP)
The province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada’s easternmost province, may be one of the country’s best kept secrets. The province consists of two distinct land masses – Labrador, which is connected to the mainland of Canada, and the nearby island of Newfoundland. A large number of its residents live in the provincial capital of St. John’s, which enjoy a lively culture that draws heavily from its coastal environment. The province has recently evolved into a significant economic force in the Canadian landscape due to a boom in energy and natural resources.
The NLPNP is Newfoundland and Labrador’s Provincial Nominee Program. Through this program, prospective immigrants with the skills and experience targeted by the province may receive a Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nomination Certificate, which will allow that foreign national to apply for Canadian Permanent Residence with processing times that are faster than other Canadian immigration classes.
The NL Express Entry Skilled Worker category enables the NLPNP to nominate candidates through the Federal Express Entry system. The NL Express Entry Skilled Worker category is for skilled workers with jobs or job offers. Prospective immigrants who have been accepted into the federal Express Entry pool will be able to apply to the NL Express Entry Skilled Worker category. Individuals nominated by the NLPNP will receive additional points under the Comprehensive Ranking System, resulting in an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
The NLPNP accepts applications under three immigration categories:
1. Skilled Worker Category
2. International Graduate Category
3. Immigrant Entrepreneur Category
Below we have provided additional information about these categories to help you determine if the NL PNP is the right program for you.
