Yes, Newfoundland and Labrador has an immigration stream aligned with the federal Express Entry immigration selection system, also referred to as an enhanced Express Entry stream. This stream is called the Newfoundland & Labrador Express Entry Skilled Worker stream. By receiving an enhanced provincial nomination from one of these streams, candidates receive an extra 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, resulting in an Invitation To Apply (ITA) for permanent residence being issued at a subsequent draw from the Express Entry pool.

Candidates interested in living and working permanently in Newfoundland should first review the different NLPNP streams to determine if they are eligible:

• Newfoundland and Labrador Skilled Worker Category
• Newfoundland and Labrador International Graduate Category
• Newfoundland and Labrador Express Entry Skilled Worker
• Newfoundland and Labrador International Entrepreneur
• Newfoundland and Labrador International Graduate Entrepreneur
  

Through the Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream (SWM), the MPNP invites internationally trained
workers who have the skills needed in the local labour market, and nominates them to apply
for a Canadian permanent resident visa with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
(IRCC) to settle in Manitoba.

The Skilled Worker Overseas Stream is designed to target foreign nationals with skilled work
experience needed to support Manitoba’s labour maket needs. The MPNP nominates candidates
who demonstrate an established connection to the province, such as support of family members
or friends, previous education or work experience or an invitation as part of a Strategic
Recruitment Initiative.

Under the MPNP renewal, the two streams will consist of four pathways:

• Manitoba Work Experience Pathway
• Employer Direct Recruitment Pathway
• Manitoba Express Entry Pathway
• Human Capital Pathway

Through this category, applicants with guaranteed job offers, resulting from specialized skills that Newfoundland & Labrador employers seek, can be nominated. Individuals who are currently working in the province on a valid work permit may also be eligible. To learn more about the NLPNP Skilled Worker Category, click here
