Share your résumé
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador hosts a database for trusted employers in the province. When you share your résumé, you enter our pool of job seekers, and employers can search for qualified candidates, depending on their vacancies and hiring needs.
You will only be contacted if an employer is interested in interviewing you. When you add your résumé, you’re not applying for any specific job, and you will not receive a job offer unless an employer reaches out to you.
It’s important to check your email regularly, as employers who are interested in interviewing you will reach out directly to the email address you have provided. -

Frequently Asked
Questions
Where is Newfoundland and Labrador?
We are the eastern-most province in Canada, located on the Atlantic Ocean. We’re well-known for our unique culture, beautiful scenery and our friendly and welcoming people. You can learn more about our province at HomeAwaits.ca.
What should I include in my résumé?
We encourage you to use this downloadable template to format your résumé. Please make sure you include any professional certification you have obtained from Newfoundland and Labrador or Canadian licensing bodies.
What should I do if I don’t see a job that matches my skills and experience?
Participating employers have access to our pool of résumés all year. So, an employer looking for a candidate like you might visit the platform later and reach out to you. That’s why it’s important to submit your résumé as soon as you’re ready and update it regularly.
Are there other ways to safely search for jobs in Newfoundland & Labrador?
The Department of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills has a list of tools and supports to help you find a career in Newfoundland and Labrador and begin your immigration application – plus tips to help you search and apply safely. Check it out at HomeAwaits.ca/Jobs !
Will registering for the platform result in a visa and work permit?
No. Simply registering and participating will not result in a visa or a work permit. The platform can help you learn about Newfoundland and Labrador’s immigration programs, seek employment and be potentially hired by a Newfoundland and Labrador-based employer. With a full-time job in our province, you might be eligible for a visa, work permit or permanent residency.
What is the process for immigrating to Newfoundland & Labrador?
A candidate for permanent residency in Newfoundland and Labrador must have a full-time job or job offer in our province to apply to any of our two immigration programs. Once your application has been approved by Newfoundland and Labrador, you will apply to Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency and a work permit (if needed). You can learn more about pathways to immigration by visiting HomeAwaits.ca/Immigration.
Do I need a Labour Market Impact Assessment?
You do not need a Labour Market Impact Assessment—or LIMA—to register. Your employer might choose to get an LMIA, but this is not needed as Newfoundland and Labrador’s immigration programs have LMIA-exempt work permit options.
