Newfoundland and Labrador to Host Virtual Immigration and Job Fair for Foreign Workers
The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador is organising a virtual immigration and employment fair to help connect international skilled workers with employers across the province. The online event will take place on 11 February, from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm (GMT), and is open to applicants from around the world, including Pakistan.
This initiative is especially useful for skilled professionals who are interested in working and settling in Canada and want to explore job opportunities directly with Canadian employers.
What to Expect from the Virtual Fair
During the event, participants will be able to:
-
Connect with employers actively hiring in Newfoundland and Labrador
-
Submit their CVs online for review by Canadian companies
-
Attend information sessions on immigration pathways
-
Take part in live question-and-answer sessions with immigration and employment experts
-
Learn about daily life, work culture, and settlement options in the province
To participate, applicants must register online and upload their résumés as part of the registration process. The registration deadline is 11 February at midnight (GMT).
Does This Event Guarantee a Canadian Visa or Work Permit?
Registering for and attending the virtual fair does not automatically result in a Canadian visa or work permit. However, it can be an important first step.
If you successfully secure a full-time job offer from a Newfoundland and Labrador employer, you may become eligible to apply for:
-
A Canadian work permit
-
Permanent residence through the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
For most worker and student streams under the PNP, a minimum one-year job offer from an employer within the province is required.
In-Demand Occupations in Newfoundland and Labrador
While professionals from all fields are encouraged to apply, the province has highlighted a strong demand for skilled workers in the following sectors:
-
Social work
-
Kindergarten to Grade 12 teaching (English and French)
-
Aviation
-
Healthcare
-
Early childhood education
-
Construction
-
Hospitality, retail, and food services
This is not a complete list, as employers are also looking for qualified workers in many other industries.
What If You Don’t Find a Suitable Job During the Event?
Even if you do not find a job that matches your skills during the virtual fair, there is still a chance of being contacted later. Employers who participate in the event can access uploaded CVs throughout the year.
This means a Canadian employer may review your profile at a later date and reach out if your experience matches their requirements. Applicants are advised to upload their résumés early and keep them updated regularly.
You can also explore job opportunities directly through Newfoundland and Labrador’s official job portal before and after the event.
Tips for Preparing Your Résumé
The provincial government recommends using their official downloadable résumé template to improve your chances of being shortlisted.
Your résumé should clearly include:
-
Relevant work experience
-
Educational background
-
Professional certifications
-
Any licences issued by Canadian or Newfoundland and Labrador regulatory bodies (if applicable)
A well-structured and professionally written CV can significantly improve your chances of attracting employer interest.
