NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR HOSTS VIRTUAL IMMIGRATION FAIR TO CONNECT FOREIGN WORKERS WITH LOCAL EMPLOYERS
Newfoundland & Labrador Opens Virtual Doors to Foreign Talent
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is taking a proactive step to address local labor shortages by hosting a Virtual Immigration and Job Fair on February 11, 2026. This event is specifically designed to bridge the gap between skilled foreign workers and local employers who are ready to hire. Running from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. GMT, the fair serves as a digital gateway for those looking to start their Canadian journey in one of the country’s most welcoming Atlantic provinces.
Event Highlights and Participation Requirements
This isn't just a job board; it’s an interactive platform for professional networking:
Direct Connection: Participants can chat directly with employers from various sectors who have active job openings.
Resume Review: To participate, candidates must upload their resumes during registration, allowing employers to review profiles in real-time.
Expert Guidance: The fair features live Q&A sessions with immigration officers who will explain pathways to permanent residency (PR).
Life in NL: Information sessions will provide insights into the cost of living, community culture, and the unique lifestyle of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Strategic Value: A Pathway to Residency
While attending the fair does not automatically grant a visa, securing a job offer in Newfoundland and Labrador is a "game changer" for your immigration file:
PNP Acceleration: A valid job offer is often the key to qualifying for the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP).
Work Permit Support: Employers met at the fair may be eligible to support your work permit application through the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).
High Demand: The province is actively looking for talent in healthcare, technology, hospitality, and skilled trades.
Your First Step into the Atlantic Advantage
For many, the biggest hurdle to immigrating is finding an employer willing to hire from abroad. This virtual fair removes that barrier, placing you directly in front of decision-makers. It is a crucial first step for anyone aiming to establish themselves in Canada in 2026.
