The latest Newfoundland and Labrador NLPNP draw has issued 36 invitations through the province’s Enhanced Expression of Interest system.

The September 10, 2026, selection focused entirely on the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program, making it the second consecutive NLPNP-only draw.

Newfoundland and Labrador NLPNP Draw Invites 36 Candidates

Newfoundland and Labrador conducted its 14th selection round of 2026 on September 10.

The province issued 36 invitations, all under the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program.

No invitations were issued through the Atlantic Immigration Program in this selection.

The province’s official ITA update confirms the September 10 selection as 36 NLPNP invitations.

Second Consecutive NLPNP-Only Draw

The latest selection followed another NLPNP-only draw held on September 4.

That earlier round issued 97 invitations through the NLPNP.

The latest two selections therefore demonstrate a recent focus on candidates applying through Newfoundland and Labrador’s provincial nominee pathway rather than the Atlantic Immigration Program.

The most recent selection that included AIP candidates took place on August 26, when the province issued 46 AIP invitations alongside 94 NLPNP invitations.

Newfoundland and Labrador Reaches 2,592 Invitations in 2026

With the September 10 selection included, Newfoundland and Labrador has issued 2,592 invitations in 2026.

The total includes:

• 2,198 NLPNP invitations
• 394 Atlantic Immigration Program invitations

The figures indicate that the NLPNP accounts for the majority of invitations issued by the province so far this year.

What is the Newfoundland and Labrador NLPNP?

The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program is the province’s economic immigration program for eligible candidates who can contribute to the provincial economy and labour market.

The province uses its Expression of Interest system to manage candidate selection.

Candidates interested in the NLPNP should understand that receiving an invitation is not the same as receiving permanent residence.

An invited candidate must still submit the required application and demonstrate that they meet the applicable eligibility requirements.

Why the Latest Draw Matters

The relatively small size of the September 10 draw shows that provincial invitation rounds can vary considerably.

Just six days earlier, Newfoundland and Labrador issued 97 NLPNP invitations. The latest round issued only 36.

This difference reinforces why candidates should not assume that future invitation volumes will follow the size or frequency of previous draws.

Newfoundland and Labrador reviews Expressions of Interest and issues invitations in batches throughout the year.

NLPNP Candidates Should Keep Their Profiles Accurate

Candidates interested in the Newfoundland and Labrador NLPNP should make sure the information in their Expression of Interest profile remains accurate and current.

Changes to employment, education, language ability or other eligibility factors may affect a candidate’s profile and potential selection.

Candidates should also monitor official provincial announcements for changes to selection priorities and application requirements.

How the Latest NLPNP Draw Fits Into 2026 Immigration Activity

The September 10 selection is part of a series of Newfoundland and Labrador immigration draws conducted throughout 2026.

The province has used both NLPNP and Atlantic Immigration Program invitations during the year, although the latest two selections have focused exclusively on the provincial nominee program.

For candidates considering provincial immigration to Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador remains one of the pathways worth monitoring, particularly for individuals whose skills and experience align with the province’s workforce requirements.
