Applications will continue to be processed for individuals with extenuating circumstances.
Newfoundland and Labrador is experiencing a historic number of immigrants and capacity for spaces is nearly full for 2024. As a result, the Department of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills will be prioritizing the processing of applications in sectors facing labour shortages, such as health care, early learning and construction, for the remainder of the year. Applications will continue to be processed for individuals with extenuating circumstances. Clients are advised that the 25-day processing standard for the Provincial Nominee Program will resume in January 2025. This demand for immigration was forecasted and the Provincial Government requested a 15 per cent increase in its spaces for 2024 through the National Immigration Levels Planning consultation process in 2022 and in 2023. Unfortunately, the Government of Canada did not grant this allocation increase.
