Maple News reports that Newfoundland and Labrador has issued its highest number of immigration invitations since July 2025 in the most recent draw held this week. The province extended a total of 330 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) through its two key programs: the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) and the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).
According to the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism (OIM), the ITAs were distributed in a 2:1 ratio, with 220 invitations going to candidates under the NLPNP and 110 under the AIP. This marks the most significant draw for the NLPNP since July 10, 2025, and the highest for the AIP since September 26, 2025.
While the OIM has not released details about which specific NLPNP streams the invitations were issued under, this latest round underscores Newfoundland and Labrador’s continued commitment to attracting skilled workers and international talent to strengthen its labor market.
This draw brings the total number of ITAs issued by Newfoundland and Labrador in 2025 to 3,463—2,473 through the NLPNP and 990 through the AIP. So far this year, the province has conducted 13 draws across both programs.
For the year 2025, the federal government has allocated 2,525 nomination spaces to Newfoundland and Labrador. While the province has already exceeded that number, this may suggest additional flexibility in annual targets or a strong push to meet regional labor demands.
As Canada’s easternmost province continues to invest in immigration as a strategic tool for population and economic growth, candidates interested in settling in Atlantic Canada are encouraged to monitor provincial updates closely.
Newfoundland and Labrador offer unique opportunities for newcomers, particularly in high-demand sectors such as healthcare, technology, and skilled trades. Programs like the NLPNP and AIP offer simplified pathways to permanent residence for qualified individuals with job offers and ties to the province.
