Newfoundland e Labrador

About the Province

The world is much bigger than
our eyes can see!

Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) which is east of Canada in the extreme northeast of the country, the Belle Isle Strait separates the province into two geographic divisions: Labrador (a large area of the Canadian mainland) and Newfoundland, (an island in the Atlantic Ocean).

NL is the seventh largest Canadian province by land with an area of 405,212 square kilometers. Its population is 521 thousand inhabitants. 92% of the population is concentrated on the island of Newfoundland, with 40% in the capital St. John's (also the province's largest city and Canada's 20th largest metropolitan area).

Service industries account for the majority of GDP, mainly financial, healthcare and public administration services. Other important industries are mining, petroleum, manufacturing and a more recent one, aquaculture. Due to its geography, this province has a large scale of climate and temperature and has been divided into 6 types of climates, but in general, we can consider a humid continental climate on the island and a subarctic climate in Labrador to the south. At Capital St. John's temperature in summer can reach 20° and in winter -9°.

Why choose Newfoundland e Labrador to live?

Newfoundland & Labrador is very welcoming to immigrants and welcomes 1700 immigrants a year and expects to deliver 5100 PRs by 2026

NL supports multiculturalism and diversity and invests in retaining these talents. Proof that the province is engaged with this social, economic and cultural interaction of newcomers and the NLMGP (NL Multiculturalism Grant Program) program, which provides support and funding to non-profit, non-governmental and community organizations to plan and host events and activities that highlight cultures, intercultural discussions and bridge the gap between communities of various origins to tackle racism and
discrimination.

The province knows that the key to its development is immigration, as the local population is aging and the birth rate is decreasing. It is projected that by 2025, the province will experience a 10% decline in its working age population, resulting in 35,000 fewer people in the provincial labor market.

In addition, NL has an action plan to encourage the recruitment and retention of immigrants through partnership with the federal and Atlantic government, educational institutions, communities, community organizations and service providers and improving existing resources and processes through monitoring surveys.
