Public Advisory: Call for Proposals Issued for Newcomer Settlement and Integration Grants

Press Release

April 2, 2025

The Provincial Government is calling for proposals for projects under the Newfoundland and Labrador Settlement and Integration Grants program. The program is a key part of immigration retention efforts by supporting the social, economic and cultural integration of newcomers to the province.

Priority will be given to projects that support the direct delivery of settlement services to newcomers, regardless of immigration status, and support labour market attachment and economic immigration.

Organizations eligible for project funding include:

• Non-profit organizations
• Post-secondary institutions
• Municipalities
• Indigenous governing bodies

The full Newfoundland and Labrador Settlement and Integration Grant guidelines are available online here.

Applications will be assessed as received and must be submitted through the Labour Market Programs Support System (LaMPSS). Applications will begin being accepted at 12:00 p.m. NDT on Friday, April 4, 2025.  All applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. NDT on Friday, May 2, 2025.

To support organizations interested in applying for program funding, a virtual training session on how to navigate LaMPSS will be offered at 10:00 a.m. NDT on Friday, April 11, 2025. More sessions may be added as needed. Anyone who would like to attend the information session or ask questions about this call for proposals is encouraged to contact the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism at settlement@gov.nl.ca.
