To submit a request for JVA positions, you must first create a profile on the Immigration Accelerator portal and submit a JVA application. Upon receipt of a positive JVA, you will be allocated a certain number of positions that you can fill with foreign workers.

If you wish to request additional JVA positions, go to the “I Need To…” section.  

The “Add a New Position or Region” section allows the organization to request a new position as part of their JVA or allows them to request a new region of operation as part of their approved JVA.  

For technical assistance with the Immigration Accelerator Portal contact OIMDigitalSystems@gov.nl.ca  

Approved JVA positions are valid for one year from the date of approval.

The EOI invitation spaces section allows employers to see what spaces they have available from their JVA to extend EOI invitations to employees or potential employees. 

The Dashboard will indicate the number of positions available to hire workers, as well as the number of EOI invitations that the employer has sent to employees or potential employees.  

To issue an EOI invitation, employers can click on the small plus sign located next to the year of the approved position. When this icon is selected, it gives the option to “Issue EOI invitation to Prospective Hire.” This button then prompts the employer to enter the prospective hire’s given name, surname, and email to which the EOI invitation code is sent.  

The EOI invitation spaces section of the portal allows you to see what spaces your organization has available, from your AIP designation or JVA assessment, to extend EOI invitations to employees or potential employees. 

 To withdraw an invitation, you can click on the small plus sign located next to the year of the approved position. This will allow you to view the EOI invitation codes that you have issued. Visible to employers, is the date the EOI Invitation code was issued, the Candidates name, and the status ie. “Invitation Sent”, “EOI Selected,” etc.  

 Next to the list of each EOI Invitation issued, is a pencil icon. This pencil icon allows employers to edit the name and email address of their prospective hire who has received the EOI invitation. It also gives the employer the option to “Withdraw Invitation”, thereby removing the invitation from their EOI.  

 If you choose to withdraw an invite code from a candidate, you are able to use the same invite code for another prospective hire, as long as you, the employer did not receive an ITA for the initial user of the code.  

Once your employee has been nominated by NLPNP, as their employer, you must complete a submission in the IRCC Employer Portal and pay the $230 Employer Compliance Fee before they can apply for their work permit (If needed).
