How Newfoundland and Labrador Selects Candidates through EOI

Newfoundland and Labrador uses an Expression of Interest (EOI) system for the NLPNP and the provincial endorsement stage of the AIP. Submitting an EOI is separate from filing a full application or receiving provincial support.

Published priorities include health occupations, rural and regional jobs, certain trades and transport roles, and evidence of long-term retention. Employer compliance and graduates with ties to the province may also affect priority.

These are general selection criteria, not an occupation list for this particular draw. Meeting a priority does not guarantee an invitation.

What Happens After Receiving an NLPNP or AIP Invitation?

An invitation allows a full application; it is not a nomination, endorsement or permanent residence approval. Follow the deadline and instructions in the invitation.

• NLPNP candidates: Submit a complete provincial nomination application through the immigration portal, with documents required for your stream. Language results, education assessments and employment evidence depend on the pathway. Accepting an Express Entry-linked nomination adds 600 CRS points, subject to the additional-points cap; a federal invitation is still required. Non-Express Entry nominees apply through their applicable federal PR process.
• AIP candidates: The designated employer completes the provincial endorsement application after invitation. Once a Certificate of Endorsement is issued, eligible candidates can apply to IRCC for permanent residence. An optional AIP-specific work permit requires federal eligibility and a provincial referral letter.
