The Atlantic province of Newfoundland & Labrador has announced two new streams for entrepreneur immigration.

The previous entrepreneur immigration program of Newfoundland & Labrador was closed in 2010.
Though detailed information on the requirements for the programs are yet to be out, it is understood that both the programs would be operating on a two-stage process.

Before applying for provincial nomination from Newfoundland and Labrador, the candidate must have established his/her business in the province on a temporary work permit and ran the business for at least one year.
Requirements for International Entrepreneur Stream:
-The candidate must be in the age between 21 and 59 years
