My Story

Your trusted partner for newcomer support in Newfoundland.

My Name is Yi Li


I arrived here in 2009 as an international student at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) where I met my beautiful wife.

After I graduated in 2011, I was lucky to start my career here in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Over the years, people in the great province of Newfoundland and Labrador have helped me and my family in many ways. We bought our house here, got married, welcomed our son to this world, and started our business.

Through Day One NL, we want to use our experiences here to spread the love we have received from the wonderful people of Newfoundland and Labrador, and to help you start your life in this beautiful place as smoothly as possible.
