Canada Day London has become the largest celebration of Canadian culture worldwide; attracting over 50,000 visitors from London and abroad. Spanning multiple days, this annual celebration is filled with exciting events that foster international connections. 

To kick things off on June 25th, we’ll be attending the Canada-UK Business Summit to promote and strengthen Newfoundland and Labrador’s economic ties to the UK. 

On June 26th, we’re heading to the Canada House National Day Reception, where we’ll have the opportunity to connect with government leaders and the international business community. 

Following this, we’ll be helping to promote emerging Canadian artists at the Canada Music Showcase on June 27th. We are excited to announce that Newfoundland and Labrador’s own, Rum Ragged, will be taking the stage! With a reverence for their roots, these new champions of East Coast music enliven audiences with their signature brand of Newfoundland folk. 

On June 28th, we will be attending the Canada Day Festival on Trafalgar Square. We’ll be promoting Newfoundland and Labrador through free, family-friendly events. There will be engaging entertainment, Canadian cuisine, and interactive experiences for everybody! 

Our final stop will be the Immigration Pathways Event at Canada House on June 30th. Here, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the immigration journey to Newfoundland and Labrador. From the initial point of contact and employer connections, to obtaining Permanent Residency (PR) and settling into the province, this event will highlight each critical step in the process. 

This exclusive, invite-only event is tailored for individuals working in in-demand occupations, and those who have previously engaged with the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism in the UK. Whether participants are just beginning their immigration journey or have already submitted provincial applications, this event will offer personalized guidance and insights to support them at every stage.
