Trend Analysis
Volume Rebound: Following a quiet stretch through September—which dipped to a low of 36 ITAs—the October 9 round marks a notable rebound in selection volume, representing the largest single batch since late August.
Program Distribution: The heavy weighting toward the NLPNP mirrors the broader pattern of 2026, where the vast majority of provincial invitations flow through the provincial nominee stream rather than the employer-driven Atlantic Immigration Program.
