New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program

Under the Provincial Nominee Program, the Province seeks immigrants with job skills and other attributes who will come to New Brunswick to fill labour market hortages or support employment or business expansion.

To be considered under the Provincial Nominee Program, an applicant must have a guaranteed job offer in his/her intended occupation or a business plan approved by the Department of Business New Brunswick.

Selection Factors

In addition to guaranteed employment or an approved business plan, the applicant must demonstrate a range of experience and adaptability indicating his/her potential to adapt to changing workforce needs and opportunities. This will be measured under seven factors:

• age (max 10 points)
• language skills (max 15 points)
• education (max 18 points)
• work experience (max 10 points)
• adaptability (max 25 points)
• skill shortage (for job offer applicants - max 5 points) and
• business experience (for business plan applicants max 15 points)

A minimum score of 50 points is necessary for consideration under the New Brunswick Provincial
Nominee Program.

Provincial Nominees are likely to see their application for immigration to Canada processed expeditiously.
