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

August 27, 2024

The Department of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills, through the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism, is calling for proposals for projects under the Newfoundland and Labrador Settlement and Integration Grants program. The program supports 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 can be accepted starting at 12:00 p.m. NT on Thursday, August 29, 2024. All applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. NT on September 30, 2024.

To support organizations interested in applying for program funding, a virtual training session on how to navigate LaMPSS will be offered at 1:00 p.m. NT on Tuesday, September 3. Anyone who would like to attend for the training session or ask questions about this call for proposals is encouraged to contact the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism at settlement@gov.nl.ca.
