1. Express Entry Labour Market Stream
The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) has developed and launched its Express Entry Labour Market Stream. This stream allows the NBPNP to use the Federal Express Entry immigration selection system to meet New Brunswick’s specific labour market and demographic needs.
2. Skilled Workers With Family Support
This category targets individuals with close family ties to the province, in doing so providing a means for families to reunite in Canada. Interestingly, this category does not require the applicant to have a job offer from an employer in New Brunswick.
3. Business Immigration
The province accepts applications under this category from individuals who plan to own and actively manage a business in New Brunswick. Applicants are expected to make a monetary investment in the business.
4. Skilled Workers With Employer Support
The province accepts applications under this category from individuals who have received a full-time, permanent job offer from a New Brunswick employer.
