Canada continues to strengthen its regional immigration strategy, and Newfoundland and Labrador is taking a proactive step to attract global talent. On February 11, 2026, the province will host a virtual immigration and job fair, connecting foreign skilled workers with employers across the province—without the need to travel.

This initiative supports Canada’s broader goal of addressing labour shortages while offering immigrants a clear, legal pathway to work permits and permanent residency through provincial programs.

What Is the Newfoundland and Labrador Virtual Immigration Fair?

The Newfoundland and Labrador Virtual Immigration Fair will run on February 11, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (GMT) and is open to foreign workers worldwide who are interested in immigrating to Canada.

This online event allows participants to:

• Connect directly with Newfoundland and Labrador employers

• Upload résumés for long-term employer access

• Attend information sessions on immigration pathways

• Participate in live Q&A sessions with provincial experts

• Learn about life and employment opportunities in the province

📌 Registration deadline: February 11 at midnight (GMT)

Does Attending the Event Guarantee a Visa or Work Permit?

No. Simply attending the event does not automatically result in a Canadian visa or work permit.

However, the fair plays a critical role in the immigration process. Securing a full-time job offer from a Newfoundland and Labrador employer is a key requirement for:

• Work permits

• Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applications

• Permanent residency pathways

For most Newfoundland and Labrador PNP streams, applicants must have:

• A minimum one-year job offer

• Employment from an in-province employer

In-Demand Occupations in Newfoundland and Labrador

While professionals from all sectors are encouraged to apply, the province is actively recruiting skilled workers in:

• Health care

• Social work

• Early childhood education

• K–12 teaching (English and French)

• Aviation

• Construction

• Hospitality, retail, and food services

This list is not exhaustive, and opportunities exist across many other skilled occupations depending on employer needs.

What If You Don’t Find a Job During the Event?

Even if you do not secure employment immediately, your résumé remains valuable.

✔ Employers who attend the fair can access uploaded résumés throughout the year
✔ Employers may contact candidates later if a matching role opens
✔ Participants are encouraged to update their résumés regularly

Foreign workers can also search for opportunities through Newfoundland and Labrador’s official job portal, even before or after the event.

How to Prepare a Strong Résumé

The province recommends using its official résumé template, ensuring clarity and Canadian standards. Your résumé should include:

• Relevant work experience

• Educational background

• Professional certifications

• Any Canadian or Newfoundland and Labrador licensing

• Language proficiency (English/French)

A well-prepared résumé significantly improves employer interest and long-term visibility.
