Advanced Education, Skills and Labour February 1, 2018 Provincial Government Establishes Minister’s Roundtable on Immigration... The Provincial Government today established a Minister’s Roundtable on Immigration, a key commitment in The Way Forward on Immigration in Newfoundland and Labrador. Led by the Honourable Al Hawkins, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour, the Roundtable on Immigration is the first of its kind in the province. It brings together representatives of various sectors including the business community, labour, the K-12 education system, post-secondary institutions, municipalities, community organizations and service providers. A list of permanent and visiting members is provided in the backgrounder below. The Roundtable on Immigration will serve as a forum for discussion and collaboration as members combine efforts to find innovative ways to attract and retain more newcomers. An inaugural meeting of the Roundtable on Immigration will be held on Wednesday, February 7. Officials from the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism will provide an overview of actions taken during year one of The Way Forward on Immigration in Newfoundland and Labrador, the province’s immigration action plan. Members will discuss the plan as well as the role their organizations may play in future actions and initiatives. The Provincial Government has committed to increasing immigration to the province to 1,700 newcomers annually by 2022. Quote All of us have a role to play in increasing immigration to Newfoundland and Labrador, ensuring more newcomers choose to settle here and build a brighter future for themselves, our communities, and the province. I am very pleased to lead the Minister’s Roundtable on Immigration as we collaborate and consolidate our efforts to grow the provincial workforce and economy. Honourable Al Hawkins Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour

CRS of 444 got invitation to apply under Express Entry. If you do not do it now, you will regret later. The Government of Canada has invited 2,750 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence in a draw that took place January 24.... The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) cut-off score for this draw was 444, a reduction of two points from the previous Express Entry draw on January 10, which had a CRS cut-off score of 446. As with the the five previous draws, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) employed a tie-break rule. In this case, the time and date of the tie-break was January 17, 2018 at 12:33:00 UTC. This means that all candidates with a CRS score above 444, as well as those candidates with scores of 444 who entered their profile in the Express Entry pool before this time, will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Both the first and second draws of 2018 already have CRS scores well below the first two draws of 2017, which went on to set a number of Express Entry records.
