The Department of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills is launching a cross-provincial series of engagement sessions for employers and newcomers this fall, beginning next week (September 9 to 13) in Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Labrador West.

Employer engagement sessions will include representatives from the Provincial Government and staff from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. This is an opportunity for employers to ask questions to Provincial and Federal immigration officials. Employers can register for a session here.

Newcomer engagement sessions will include Provincial Government staff and representatives of the Association for New Canadians. These sessions will provide an opportunity to learn about permanent immigration options, such as the Provincial Nominee Program and the Atlantic Immigration Program. Sessions for newcomers do not require pre-registration.

The Provincial Government will also have an immigration booth at Expo Labrador September 10-12. Staff with the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism will be available to discuss immigration options available to employers looking to meet their business needs and individuals interested in making Newfoundland and Labrador their permanent home.
