Yes, it is. Everywhere on earth is affected by sea level rise especially low lying countries, coastal areas, and some islands. Newfoundland is vulnerable to sea level rise because its a coastal area and it is actually sinking in the ocean but very slowly according to some coastline erosion experts. The island of Newfoundland is sinking at a rate of 3.5 mm a year. The southern part is sinking faster then the northern part. To show proof that Newfoundland is really sinking, a coastline erosion expert finds preserved and dead tree stumps in calmer waters to determine how far and when the water has moved. The trees which sat in the water were all dead because of the ocean's salt water which killed their roots. The trees were found at some southern beaches on the south part of the island in the water.

When it rains does the sea level rise?
Sort of. Simply, rain is caused by water in the sea evaporating, forming clouds, and then clouds causing rain; this is called the water cycle. When there is heavy rainfall, it can cause flooding, which in turn destroys places, and can, in some cases, make the sea level rise slightly. So, rain is not directly affected with rising sea levels, but can have some affect on the overall level.
