The Priority Skills Newfoundland and Labrador immigration pathway was created in 2021 in response to a growing demand from Newfoundland employers who are unable to meet growing demand for labour in priority sectors. Currently, Expressions of Interest (EOI) are being accepted from: Individuals who have worked in a specialized, highly skilled, in-demand occupation for at least one full year in the last 10 years. Individuals who have completed PhD or Master’s degrees from Memorial University within the past three years in the following specialties: Technology, Health Care, Aquaculture, and Agriculture.
