Immigration Minister Sarah Stoodley is in the United Kingdom to promote Newfoundland and Labrador as a destination for newcomers.
Stoodley is attending immigration fairs in Milton Keynes and London.
“With changing immigration policies, the provincial government believes there is a unique opportunity to attract highly skilled and targeted newcomers currently living in the United Kingdom to settle in Newfoundland and Labrador, filling in-demand jobs in health care, early childhood education and residential construction, among others,” the government said in a news release.
Stoodley is also scheduled to meet with Canada’s High Commissioner to the U.K. and Northern Ireland, Ralph Goodale.
And on Tuesday, she’ll attend a soccer/football match between Barrow AFC, which is sponsored by the province, and Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge Stadium in London.
Officials with Keyin College, another partner with Barrow AFC, will also be in London for the game.
