New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP)

The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) is an immigration program that allows the government of New Brunswick to nominate qualified candidates who wish to live and work in the province. The program operates under agreements with the federal government of Canada and is designed to help address the province’s economic and demographic needs.

The NBPNP has several streams, each with its eligibility requirements and criteria. These include:

2. Skilled Workers with Employer Support Stream:

   This stream is for individuals who have a full-time, permanent job offer from a New Brunswick employer. The job offer must be in a skilled occupation (National Occupational Classification (NOC) Skill Type 0, A, or B) and meet minimum wage requirements. Candidates must also meet the language, education, and work experience requirements for their occupation.
