In New Brunswick’s labour market is strengthening up again. Like, Canada is recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic with the new increasing opening of full-time jobs from October to November which has decreased the unemployment rate. This is a reason many jobs are available that can make great chances for foreign people who are seeking to get permanent residence in Canada through economic immigration programs. All these programs mainly account for the majority of new permanent residents to New Brunswick.
After a slowdown in 2020, immigration is picking up this year
Due to COVID-19 in Canada which is still circulating in the country, there are many immigrants arriving in New Brunswick. The province has welcomed 10.2 percent of new permanent residents in the first nine months of this year which is comparatively more than the entire year of 2020. Currently, this year the New Brunswick could welcome 4253 new permanent residents if immigrants will continue at the same pace.
According to New Brunswick’s Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP), the province will identify competent individuals who meet particular economic and labor market requirements.
Candidates can qualify for it via one of these five categories:
- Stream for New Brunswick Express Entry;
- Stream for Skilled Workers in New Brunswick;
- Truck Drivers in New Brunswick’s Skilled Worker Stream;
- Entrepreneurial stream in New Brunswick
- Post-Graduate Entrepreneurial Stream in New Brunswick
The New Brunswick Express Entry Stream only focuses on those candidates who have profiles in the Federal Express entry with the skills, education, and experience to support the provincial economy.
Candidates who have profiles in the Express Entry pool are assessed and scored on the basis of the following factors:-
