Newfoundland and Labrador employers with an interest in filling their staffing needs with workers from outside of Canada are encouraged to register for upcoming virtual immigration fairs starting in September.
Hosted by the Department of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills, these free virtual fairs will be held between September 20, 2023 and March 27, 2024, starting with East and South East Asia and Oceania regions.

Interested employers are encouraged to participate in an online information session on Wednesday, September 6 at 10:30 a.m. NDT. Interested employers can also send questions to attraction@gov.nl.ca.
Virtual fairs offer employers the ability to access an international talent pool to fill vacancies that cannot be filled locally. Employers may instantly connect with prospective international candidates, review resumes and schedule interviews. The fairs will focus on certain in-demand sectors in Newfoundland and Labrador, including health care, early childhood education, technology, hospitality and more.
