The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NL PNP) is a regional immigration program that allows individuals with the necessary skills and expertise to obtain a Provincial Nomination Certificate, which accelerates the immigration to Canada and the acquisition of Canadian Permanent Residency. Newfoundland and Labrador is comprised of two distinct land masses: Newfoundland, an island, and Labrador, which is connected to the mainland. The province has recently emerged as a significant economic power in Canada due to the growth of the energy and natural resource industries. Moreover, the Provincial Nomination Programs (PNPs), including the NL PNP, provide provincial and territorial governments in Canada with the opportunity to attract newcomers to their areas.
