Have You Completed the Provincial Immigrant Retention Survey Yet?

The NL Workforce Innovation Centre is encouraging immigrants across Newfoundland and Labrador to take part in the Provincial Immigrant Retention Survey before the June 30, 2026 deadline.

The survey is designed to better understand the experiences of immigrants living and working in communities throughout the province. The information gathered will help identify what is working well, the challenges newcomers may face, and opportunities to strengthen retention efforts in Newfoundland and Labrador.

By sharing your experiences, you can help shape programs, services, and policies that support welcoming communities, workforce development, and long-term population growth.

If you are an immigrant currently living in Newfoundland and Labrador, we encourage you to take a few minutes to complete the survey and make your voice heard.
