Immigration, Population Growth and Skills Minister Sarah Stoodley is off to the United Kingdom to attend immigration fairs in Milton Keynes and London. Stoodley will also meet with the High Commission of Canada in London. Last year, the United Kingdom had a total net migration of 685,000 people. With changing immigration policies, the Provincial Government believes there is a unique opportunity to attract highly skilled and targeted newcomers currently living in the United Kingdom to settle in Newfoundland and Labrador, filling in demand jobs in healthcare, early childhood education and residential construction, among others. Stoodley will also attend a football match between Barrow AFC and Chelsea FC on September 24th. Barrow AFC’s jerseys will prominently feature Newfoundland and Labrador as part of a partnership that the Provincial Government and the team launched in June. The partnership is designed to help raise awareness of Newfoundland and Labrador globally and promote the province as a great place to live through HomeAwaits.ca.
