 International CNA student/graduate Q&A - All day event
Do you have questions about Newfoundland and Labrador’s economic immigration programs or about the process to Permanent Residency (PR)?

Current students and those who have recently graduated have the opportunity to meet with an Immigration Program Development Officer from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism (OIM). Student calls are facilitated through an online video platform. Students have the opportunity to ask questions about Newfoundland and Labrador’s economic immigration programs, learn more about the process to Permanent Residency (PR), and ask questions related to their personal circumstances. Immigration Program Development Officers will share information, helpful links, and resources so that students can feel better informed about the Provincially supported PR pathways available to them.

College of the North Atlantic, in partnership with the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills are pleased to inform you that every second Friday afternoon starting at 2pm you can register for a 30 minute virtual one -on-one sessions with an Immigration Program Development Officer.
