New Brunswick has held a series of Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws over a two-day period, inviting skilled candidates to apply for permanent residence through its targeted immigration streams. These draws reflect the province’s ongoing commitment to addressing labour shortages and supporting local employers by welcoming qualified foreign talent.
Key Highlights of the Draws
Across multiple rounds, New Brunswick issued invitations under several streams, including:
- Skilled Worker Stream
- Express Entry Stream
- Employer-Supported Categories
The province targeted candidates with job offers in high-demand sectors, such as:
- Healthcare and long-term care
- Information technology
- Skilled trades and manufacturing
- Hospitality and tourism
The draws aimed to identify candidates with strong language skills, relevant work experience, and ties to New Brunswick, such as employment, previous education, or family connections.
Pathway to Permanent Residency
Selected candidates are now eligible to submit a full application to the New Brunswick PNP. Once nominated, they can receive up to 600 additional CRS points if applying through the federal Express Entry system—effectively guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in Canada.
Why New Brunswick?
New Brunswick continues to be a favourable destination for immigrants due to:
- A welcoming community
- Lower cost of living compared to larger provinces
- Growing industries in need of skilled workers
- Supportive provincial programs and settlement services
The province’s proactive approach through frequent draws and clear targeting of sectors makes it an attractive choice for individuals seeking a permanent future in Canada.
What’s Next?
Candidates interested in New Brunswick’s immigration pathways are encouraged to create a profile in the provincial Expression of Interest (EOI) system. Maintaining an up-to-date profile with strong qualifications, job offers, or provincial ties can improve chances of being selected in upcoming draws.
New Brunswick is expected to continue issuing invitations throughout the year, focusing on economic growth and filling labour gaps with skilled newcomers.
