Newfoundland and Labrador introduced milestones reached in 2021
Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) aims to become a national leader on immigration settlement and retention among the Canadian provinces. In 2021, the province exceeded the 2021 target of 1,700 new permanent residents and doubled the number of staff in the immigration office to provide more direct and responsive supports for employers and newcomers. This year, NL also launched the Ministerial Committee on Anti-Racism, and a job matching service, allowing employers and newcomers to secure full-time employment, as well as a new immigration pathway – Priority Skills Newfoundland and Labrador for highly educated and skilled newcomers with valuable experience in key sectors. The province also invested more than $2 million for the next two years for a new online application system and $357,000 for additional English as a Second Language (ESL) instructors.
