The Study and Stay NL Program is a collaborative initiative of International Education Newfoundland and Labrador (IENL), Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador (MUNL) and College of the North Atlantic (CNA). It is a free online 9-month program (October 2023 - June 2024) for exceptional, motivated international students in or entering their final year of full-time study at MUNL or CNA who are committed to living, working and contributing to communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. This province-wide program connects students directly to the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, labour market, and mentors in view of helping them build valuable professional and entrepreneurship skills, workplace knowledge, and meaningful connections through workshops, networking and mentorship.

The goal of the Study and Stay NL Program is to support international students to stay, live, work, and start up businesses in NL post-graduation. The program provides participants with valuable essential skills, resources and support as they transition from student to professional.

Selected participants receive enhanced one-on-one and group support throughout the program to ensure they gain the resources, tools and connections needed to launch a successful career and fulfilling life in Newfoundland and Labrador. The program offers a combination of training, resources and guidance in the following six areas: Career Skills, Workplace and Local Culture, Personal and Soft Skills Development, Networking and Industry Connection, Entrepreneurship Skills, and Immigration Resources.
