Newfoundland and Labrador extends invitations for PNP & AIP, i.e., on 10 July, the Newfoundland and Labrador Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism (OIM) announced that it has issued more than 300 invitations to apply (ITAs) to foreign nationals who can help strengthen the province’s economy and communities.
These invitations were sent out through both the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) and the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP). Together, these pathways are designed to attract skilled workers and help fill key labour shortages across various sectors in the province.
Immigration Results — 10 July
In this latest draw, the province distributed a total of 359 invitations through its two major immigration pathways:
| Immigration Pathway | Invitations Issued |
| NLPNP | 300 |
| AIP | 59 |
To qualify for an invitation in this round, candidates needed to meet two main requirements:
- Hold a valid job or job offer in Newfoundland and Labrador
- Have an employer invitation code if required
Note: Candidates with valid work authorization in Canada do not need an employer invitation code for the NLPNP. However, a code is necessary for those who need job vacancy assessments and for all AIP candidates.
It is important for interested individuals to understand that Expressions of Interest (EOIs) submitted without proof of employment or a valid job offer, or that do not include an employer invitation code (when needed), will not be eligible for an ITA under these pathways.

Candidates who need help identifying the correct NOC code for their role should contact the OIM for guidance.
