New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NB PNP)
The Government of New Brunswick has conducted multiple provincial immigration selection rounds, issuing a total of 750 invitations to eligible candidates through the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) and the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).
According to the province’s latest announcement, invitations were issued across several immigration pathways targeting skilled workers in priority occupations, including healthcare, education, manufacturing, transportation, professional and information technology (IT), sales and services, and construction. These invitation rounds reflect New Brunswick’s continued efforts to address labour shortages and support economic growth across the province.
What Is the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP)?
The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) allows the province to nominate eligible foreign nationals for Canadian permanent residence based on regional labour market needs.
The program includes multiple immigration streams designed to attract skilled workers, international graduates, and French-speaking candidates who have the skills and experience required by New Brunswick employers. Successful provincial nominees may subsequently apply to the Government of Canada for permanent residence.
The initiative recognizes the important role that healthcare support workers play in maintaining essential healthcare services in communities experiencing ongoing labour shortages.
