Canada’s province of Newfoundland and Labrador is inviting skilled foreign workers and international professionals to participate in an upcoming virtual immigration and recruitment event on February 11, 2026. This online session aims to help global job seekers connect with employers looking to fill labour market gaps while exploring pathways to work and settlement in Canada.
Event Details
-
The virtual event will run on February 11, from 18:00 to 22:00 GMT (2:30–6:30 PM Newfoundland Standard Time), and is open to job seekers from around the world.
-
Participants are encouraged to upload their résumés during registration so approved employers in Newfoundland and Labrador can review and contact candidates whose skills align with workforce needs.
-
The online fair will also feature information sessions and Q&As to help foreign professionals better understand job opportunities, immigration pathways, and settlement options in the province.
Why This Matters
With parts of Canada tightening or temporarily suspending certain immigration streams, Newfoundland and Labrador’s initiative stands out as a proactive drive to attract international talent into local industries in need of skilled workers.
Skilled professionals — whether looking for long-term careers or considering relocation — can benefit by:
-
Connecting directly with employers who are actively hiring
-
Gaining insight into immigration programs and residency pathways
-
Increasing visibility to Canadian recruiters through résumé submission
Employers participating in the fair will have ongoing access to candidates’ résumés beyond the event itself, meaning job seekers could be contacted even after the online session has ended.
Who Should Attend
This event is especially helpful for international professionals who:
-
Are exploring immigration or employment options in Canada
-
Want to learn about Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) linked to job offers
-
Seek career opportunities in sectors with skills shortages
Participation does not automatically lead to a visa or work permit, but it can be an important first step toward a job offer — which is often a key requirement for work-based immigration streams
