NLPNP Program

Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program.

NLPNP – The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program offers an opportunity to immigrate to Canada for prospective immigrants who have the experience and required skills. This Canadian Eastern Province Provincial Nominee Program has several immigration categories that are suitable for a variety of immigrant applicants. NLNP offers them to live in the province as permanent residents.

Immigrants coming to Canada through the NLPNP from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador have two options to apply. The first option is to apply directly to the NLPNP outside of the Express Entry program. You can apply through the Newfoundland Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism. If you are successful, you can create an online Express Entry profile and say you are nominated by the province. This can be done by adding your Nomination Certificate and Nomination Domain to your Express Entry profile.

Another option is to first create an online profile in the Express Entry system and declare an official interest in moving to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The applicant can then receive an NOI from the province asking them to apply for their PNP. The PNP can directly contact Express Entry profiles that match the skills and abilities required by the NLPNP to benefit the province.

NLPNP will send certificates of submission of officially selected candidates directly to the Express Entry system. Applicants just need to agree to the same online and their CRS score in the express entry pool will immediately increase by 600 points. They are then eligible to receive an ITA invitation to apply for a Canadian PR visa in the next Express Entry.
