Newfoundland and Labrador immigration draw / November 14, 2025

Newfoundland & Labrador  Sets Highest NLPNP Invite Count in First Draw Since July

Newfoundland and Labrador welcomed 330 new immigration candidates this week through the NLPNP and AIP.

Newfoundland and Labrador opened its week with another strong immigration draw. The province invited 330 candidates to apply through two key pathways. Officials used the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) and the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP). The NLPNP received most of the invitations. The province aims to bring in more skilled workers as the year nears its end.

NLPNP Leads the Draw

The Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism released full numbers for the draw. Officers sent 220 invitations through the NLPNP. They issued 110 more through the AIP. This draw marked the highest NLPNP count since July 10, 2025. It also marked the highest AIP count since September 26, 2025. Officials did not reveal the exact NLPNP streams used this week. The province often keeps those details private.

This draw brought the 2025 total to 13 rounds across both programs. The province continues to attract workers who plan to build their future in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Year-to-Date Immigration Activity

Newfoundland and Labrador continues to post steady immigration numbers in 2025. The province has issued 2,473 invitations through the NLPNP so far this year. It also sent 990 invitations through the AIP. These figures show strong interest in both streams and steady movement toward yearly targets.

The province holds 2,525 nomination spaces for 2025. Officials set aside 2,050 spaces for the NLPNP. They set another 475 for the AIP. Invitations and nominations serve different roles. Invitations give people a chance to apply. Nominations confirm the province’s approval. A nomination allows an applicant to apply for permanent residence with federal officials. Express Entry-aligned streams also allow candidates to enter the federal pool and seek a federal Invitation to Apply.

Some candidates never complete their applications. Others do not meet final requirements. Because of this, the province often issues more invitations than available nomination spots. This method helps the province reach its target without leaving spaces unused.

Expanded Nomination Capacity

Newfoundland and Labrador entered 2025 with an original allocation of 1,050 NLPNP nomination spaces. Provincial officials later negotiated an increase with federal officials. The province then gained another 1,050 spaces. This expansion helped meet rising interest from skilled workers. It also helped support labour needs across the province.

Federal Increase Planned for 2026

Canada plans to raise its provincial nominee admissions next year. The federal government set a target of 91,500 permanent resident admissions through PNPs for 2026. The 2025 target sits at 55,000. This change marks a 66% increase. Newfoundland and Labrador may receive more nomination spaces once federal officials announce new allocations. More spaces would help the province welcome a larger number of workers in 2026.

Officials have not confirmed 2026 allocations for any province or territory. Further details will arrive in the coming months.
