Immigrating to and Living in Newfoundland and Labrador

In 2022, Newfoundland and Labrador was found to be Canada’s happiest province according to Statistics Canada. This may be the case for a multitude of reasons but is nonetheless a signal that this province has a generally positive reputation, making it a worthwhile consideration for newcomers looking to settle in Canada.

Among the advantages of settling in Newfoundland and Labrador as a newcomer are the province’s affordability, cultural richness, safety, proximity to nature, and respect for education.

For instance, this province is often praised for having some of Canada’s most affordable housing options, including condominiums, semi- and fully detached homes and townhouses. Additionally, the minimum wage in Newfoundland and Labrador is currently $14.50, a figure that is on par with the rest of the country. However, the province is also expected to raise minimum wages again on October 1, 2023.
