The federal and provincial governments reached an agreement to restore 1,000 economic immigration spaces for 2025 bringing the total economic immigration spaces for Newfoundland and Labrador this year to 2,525.

 

Earlier this month, the Government of Canada announced a 50 percent reduction in the province’s allocation spaces as part of a national reduction in regional economic immigration programs.


The new agreement involves increasing the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program capacity while maintaining the Atlantic Immigration Program capacity at 475 spaces.


Over the next two years 290 humanitarian migrants will be welcomed to Newfoundland and Labrador and the Federal Government will pay for the relocation of humanitarian migrants and upfront costs related to housing and wrap-around supports.
