Food & Hospitality – The Heart of the AIP List

Restaurants, hotels, and catering businesses dominate the province’s designated employer list. Major chains such as Tim Hortons, Subway, and Newfoundland’s own Mary Brown’s Chicken employ hundreds of workers across the region. These jobs are key PR pathways for candidates in frontline service, kitchen, and management roles, as employers in this sector are highly active in sponsoring under AIP.

Retail & Consumer Services – A Growth Engine

Retail giants like Walmart, Sobeys, Canadian Tire, and Circle K maintain a consistent presence on the list. These employers offer stable, non-seasonal work and have widespread geographic coverage — ideal for newcomers seeking long-term settlement in small and medium-sized towns.

Healthcare & Community Support – Consistent Demand

Newfoundland’s healthcare sector, including Shoppers Drug Mart, community pharmacies, and private clinics, plays a major role in AIP nominations. With an aging population, the province continues to designate new healthcare employers, creating steady opportunities for personal care attendants, pharmacy assistants, and nursing aides.Construction & Infrastructure – Building the Future

Companies like G.J. Cahill & Company, CIMA+, and J.D. Irving / Kent Building Supplies drive infrastructure and industrial development across Atlantic Canada. These large employers not only hire locally but also recruit international tradespeople through AIP. Applicants with Red Seal certification or skilled trade backgrounds are particularly well-positioned in this sector.

Education & Early Learning – Empowering Communities

Educational institutions such as Memorial University and private early learning centers like Child Matters Inc. are among the designated employers. These organizations support long-term retention of skilled educators, administrators, and student-support staff within Newfoundland and Labrador’s education system.
