The permanent addition of the Atlantic Immigration Program to the suite of provincial immigration pathways will enable businesses to hire and nominate newcomers for permanent residency. Today’s announcement will assist the province in reaching the ambitious goal of welcoming 5,100 newcomers annually by 2026, and positioning Newfoundland and Labrador as a national leader on immigration settlement and retention.
A new feature of the permanent program will be the requirement for employers to complete intercultural competency training during the on-boarding process. This training will give employers tools to better understand cultural dynamics in the workplace and to create welcoming spaces for newcomers, which in turn aims increase retention rates. Intercultural competency training will be offered free of charge and offered virtually.
