What was announced

The Newfoundland and Labrador Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism reported 85 invitations to apply in its October 29, 2026 selection batch. The province issued 75 invitations through the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program and 10 through the Atlantic Immigration Program.

The province uses an Expression of Interest model for economic immigration applications and issues invitations in batches. Its published prioritization criteria may include health and health-related occupations, rural and regional employment, underrepresented occupations, employers with a strong compliance and retention record, candidates with provincial ties, Newfoundland and Labrador graduates, Francophone candidates and strong settlement supports.

The prioritization criteria are considered together, may change with labour-market needs and available allocations, and do not guarantee an invitation. The official draw table does not publish a score threshold or a detailed occupational breakdown for the October 29 batch.

What this may mean for applicants

An invitation allows the selected person or employer to submit the applicable provincial application; it is not a nomination or permanent residence approval. Confirm the relevant NLPNP or AIP requirements, job and employer eligibility, settlement plan and supporting documents before applying.
