The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLNP) offers an opportunity for international graduates who have completed at least half of their post-secondary education in Canada to obtain provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence. This nomination is specifically designed for individuals who have received a job offer or are currently employed by an employer in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Applicants must secure a full-time job offer from an eligible employer in Newfoundland and Labrador. The offered employment should be full-time and relevant to the applicant’s field of study. Additionally, candidates must meet the experience and educational criteria specified in the job description.
Candidates must demonstrate sufficient language proficiency to carry out the duties of the offered job. If the position falls under National Occupational Classification (NOC) Skill Level C or D, applicants need to provide official language test results equivalent to CLB level 4.
Applicants must have completed their studies at an approved Canadian post-secondary institution. The program of study should be at least a two-year diploma or degree, or a one-year post-graduate degree. It’s important to note that the educational institution does not necessarily have to be located in Newfoundland and Labrador. Candidates must also possess any additional educational qualifications necessary for the job they have been offered.
Candidates must be employed in Canada on a valid Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) at the time of application. The PGWP should have at least six months of validity remaining. Those who obtained their degree or diploma outside of Newfoundland and Labrador may be required to have a minimum of one year of employment in their field of study before applying. Additionally, applicants must possess any additional work experience required for the offered job.
The NLNP International Graduate stream accepts applications throughout the year. Eligible candidates must submit a complete application along with a fee of CAD 250. Successful applicants will receive a provincial nomination from Newfoundland and Labrador, allowing them to apply for Canadian permanent residence. Upon nomination, applicants have six months to submit a federal application for permanent residence. The application for permanent residence must be submitted via mail to the appropriate application center and typically takes about 18 months to process.
In conclusion, the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program’s International Graduate Category offers a pathway to permanent residence for international graduates with job offers in the province. By meeting the program requirements and successfully completing the application process, individuals can pursue their dreams of settling in Newfoundland and Labrador.
