Newfoundland and Labrador Announces Latest Immigration Draw Results with Adjusted Invitation Strategy

This Round's Draw Details: Changes in Invitation Scale and Structure

According to an official announcement from the Newfoundland and Labrador Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism (OIM), a total of 150 ITAs were issued across two main immigration streams in the latest draw on July 29. The breakdown is as follows:

Immigration ProgramNumber of Invitations Issued
Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP)100
Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)50
Total150

Data indicates that the scale of this draw was smaller compared to recent rounds, a change primarily attributed to the number of invitations issued under the NLPNP. In contrast, the 50 invitations issued through the AIP align with its consistent invitation patterns from previous draws.

Draw Trend Analysis: NLPNP Invitation Numbers Adjust

A review of the 2025 draw history shows that the NLPNP had seen higher invitation numbers in previous rounds. This round's figure of 100 invitations marks an adjustment in its invitation pace.

Newfoundland and Labrador's Previous Draws in 2025:

To date, the province has issued a cumulative total of 1,818 provincial immigration invitations in 2025, with 1,495 of these going to NLPNP candidates and 323 to AIP candidates.

Annual Allocations and Future Outlook

Ample immigration pathways to Newfoundland and Labrador remain open. The province’s total allocation for its Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) in 2025 is 2,050, leaving 555 nomination spots still available.

For the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), the province's 2025 allocation is 475. As of this report, 152 spots remain. This indicates that the province has sufficient capacity to continue inviting candidates who meet its development needs through these two core programs in the coming months.

Application Process and Priority Sectors: The EOI System is Key

Since February of this year, Newfoundland and Labrador's immigration application process underwent a fundamental change, shifting from a "first-come, first-served" model to a more strategic Expression of Interest (EOI) system.

All candidates interested in immigrating through the NLPNP or AIP must now first submit an EOI profile to the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism (OIM). The OIM periodically reviews candidates in the EOI pool and issues ITAs based on the "labour market needs and ongoing interests of the province." Only candidates who receive an ITA are eligible to submit a full provincial nomination application or be included in an employer's AIP endorsement application.

To attract in-demand talent, the province has identified three priority sectors. Occupations within these sectors benefit from an exemption from the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) requirement and receive priority processing for their applications.

The priority sectors are:

  • Health care
  • Information and communications technology
  • Aquaculture

For professionals seeking to immigrate to Canada, especially those with backgrounds in the aforementioned fields, Newfoundland and Labrador's immigration programs remain a significant pathway to consider.
