Priority Skills Newfoundland and Labrador

The Priority Skills Newfoundland and Labrador immigration pathway was created  in 2021 in response to a growing demand from Newfoundland employers who are unable to meet growing demand for labour in priority sectors. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, described the objectives of the new pathway, “This new focus in Priority Skills for immigration builds on the gathering momentum to attract and retain more newcomers with fresh ideas and perspectives for growth.”

Priority Skills Newfoundland and Labrador opened to applicants in January, 2021.
