Maple News reports that the government of Newfoundland and Labrador will host a global virtual immigration and job fair on February 11, 2024. Running from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. GMT, the event is designed to connect skilled foreign professionals with employers based in the province.
This initiative supports the province’s long-term recruitment and immigration goals by offering international talent direct access to employment opportunities and key information about living and working in Newfoundland and Labrador.
As part of the registration process, attendees must upload their résumés online, allowing employers in the province to review applicants before and during the event. Participants will also have access to live information sessions and interactive Q&A segments with immigration experts.
The fair will highlight Newfoundland and Labrador’s immigration pathways, including its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which offers routes to permanent residency. While attending the fair does not directly result in a Canadian visa or work permit, it can be a critical step for candidates looking to secure a job offer—often a prerequisite for applying to many PNP streams.
To be eligible for most PNP streams in Newfoundland and Labrador, foreign workers typically need a full-time job offer lasting at least one year from an employer in the province. This event serves as a strategic stepping stone for skilled workers seeking to start their journey to Canadian permanent residence.
The deadline to register for the job fair is midnight on February 11, 2024 (GMT). Interested participants are encouraged to register early to maximize visibility to potential employers.
With rising demand for talent in key industries such as healthcare, technology, and skilled trades, Newfoundland and Labrador continues to be an attractive destination for newcomers aiming to contribute to Canada’s growing economy.
Maple News will continue to follow updates from provincial immigration initiatives across Canada.
