The Priority Skills NL process is intended for individuals who have work experience in occupations in demand in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as have a high level of education and language ability, and who wish to express their interest in either staying in or coming to the province and becoming a permanent resident of Canada.
Currently, Expressions of Interest (EOI) are being accepted from:
Priority Skills NL requires the completion of a questionnaire, which is scored. Applicants who exceed the minimum score of 60 points will be accepted and their information will be viewable by staff and local employers who have accounts with the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism.
Candidates who have submitted EOIs with the highest scores, and who have received the most interest from local employers, may receive invitations through Priority Skills NL, to submit an application to the Provincial Nominee Program without a job offer.
