  • i. Accepted language results:
  • 1. IELTS

a. Yes your spouse and dependent children will be included in your applications for a temporary work permit and permanent residency.

The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) and the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) offer pathways to Permanent Residency in Canada. With a valid job offer from an eligible Newfoundland and Labrador employer, you can apply to the program for which you meet requirements. Upon approval under the NLPNP or AIP, you will be able to apply for Permanent Residency (PR), as well as a temporary work permit, allowing you to travel to Canada and begin working while your PR application is in process.

* Important note: approval under NLPNP or AIP does not guarantee approval for a temporary visa or permanent residency. The federal government of Canada under the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) make the final decision on these applications.

• a. Yes, however there are two sides to the process: one provincial application (NLPNP or AIP) and two federal applications (work permit and Permanent Residency).
• b. Provincially, under the NLPNP and AIP, there are no fees for applicants nor their employer.
• c. Federally once you are approved under NLPNP or AIP, an employer would need to pay an Employer Compliance fee to submit an Offer of Employment to support a hired worker from outside of Canada. This fee cannot be recovered from the applicant.
• d. Federally once you are approved under NLPNP or AIP, an applicant would need to pay the work permit and permanent residency application fees, along with the biometrics fees. All federal fees are clearly labeled during the application process.

• a. Our province has a very reasonable cost of living, public education and healthcare systems, and world-class post-secondary institutions.
• b. We are home to vibrant cultures, welcoming communities, and have the lowest population density in Canada.
• c. Newfoundland and Labrador is a place where the old world meets the new. It holds a modern economy and a mixture of urban and rural regions. We hold great pride in our heritage. https://www.findnewfoundlandlabrador.com/
