Newfoundland & Labrador holds third immigration invitation round since it adopted an Expression of Interest (EOI) system earlier in February this year.
The recent round of invitations, which took place on May 29, 2025, selected applicants who submitted EOIs to the province for the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program and the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).
The Atlantic province has retroactively published immigration information about the number of applicants invited via each program.
Moreover, a combined 405 invitations were issued across both programs, exceeding the respective invitation counts of the two preceding invitation rounds.
Have a look at the table below to see the breakdown for Newfoundland & Labrador’s May 29 provincial immigration draws:
| Program | Number of invitations issued |
| NLPNP | 351 |
| AIP | 54 |
In its previous selection rounds, Newfoundland and Labrador invited, across both programs:
- 328 applicants on May 28, 2025
- 256 applicants on April 3, 2025
To date, in 2025, Newfoundland and Labrador has issued 838 invitations through its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
During the same period, the province issued 151 invitations through its AIP across three selection rounds.
Its total provincial nomination allocation for 2025 is 2,525 – this is after successfully negotiating with the federal government to obtain 1,000 additional economic immigration slots after having its nomination allocation cut in half.
Submitting An EOI
Newfoundland & Labrador holds third immigration invitation round. Foreign nationals interested in immigrating to the province must begin by submitting an EOI through the province’s online Immigration Accelerator.
Moreover, once an EOI has been submitted, it will only remain in the pool for 12 months from the date it is submitted. After this, it will expire.
If selected by the province, a provincial immigration applicant will obtain an ITA and can submit a complete application to the NLPNP. If they wish to immigrate through the AIP, their employer will be responsible for submitting their application.
Those who are not present in Canada at the time of application will be required to get an ‘invite code’ from their prospective employer. Without it, applicants cannot apply for the NLPNP or AIP.
Also, individuals present in Canada do not need this code.
Once an ITA has been issued, foreign nationals have around 60 days to submit their application. Before this system was implemented, one could simply apply directly to the province.
