The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) is a provincial immigration program that allows New Brunswick to nominate eligible foreign workers, skilled professionals, and entrepreneurs for Canadian permanent residence. The program aims to address the province’s labour market needs, attract qualified talent, and support long-term economic growth.
The program offers several immigration pathways, including the Skilled Worker stream, Express Entry stream, Strategic Initiative, and Business Immigration stream. Depending on the pathway, applicants may need relevant work experience, a qualifying job offer, language proficiency, education credentials, or business management experience. Candidates must also demonstrate their intention and ability to establish themselves economically in New Brunswick.
Eligible candidates may submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) and, if selected and invited to apply, proceed with a provincial nomination application. Successful nominees can then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence, subject to federal requirements and approval.
