Overview of the Expression of Interest Model for NLPNP and AIP

The Expression of Interest model is a selection system used by the province of Newfoundland and Labrador to manage applications under the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program and the Atlantic Immigration Program.

Instead of submitting a direct immigration application, interested candidates must first create an online Expression of Interest profile. This profile includes important details such as work experience, education, occupation, language ability, and plans to live and work in the province.

After submission, the profile enters a pool where provincial officials review and assess candidates based on labour market needs and economic priorities. Individuals whose profiles match the province’s requirements may receive an Invitation to Apply.

Once invited, candidates can submit a complete application for provincial nomination or program endorsement.

Profiles remain active in the pool for a limited period, giving candidates multiple chances to be selected in future draws. This system helps the province choose skilled workers who can support local industries and long-term economic growth.
