New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program
New Brunswick is one of Canada’s beautiful eastern Maritime Provinces, bordered by Quebec, the United States, Nova Scotia and the extreme tides and prolific waters of the Bay of Fundy, the highest and widest in the world! Forestry, mining, fishing and mixed farming are some of the industries in New Brunswick. From the port city of St. John to the sprawling countryside, to the Appalachian Mountains, you’ll find the influence of both French (Acadian) and English Canada. That culture melded with that of the British immigrants who settled in New Brunswick lifetimes ago, and a new style of traditional fiddle and accordion music for Irish clogging and Scottish step dancing was created. The province has a long history of welcoming immigrants who wish to settle in New Brunswick and 123Visa helps facilitate that process.
The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program is in place to see if foreign nationals who wish to make New Brunswick their permanent home are able to adapt to life in the province on many levels.
There must be a need for your skills in the province. Qualified applicants must submit an expression of interest to the NBPNP and be able to show that they can meet the requirements of the programs by assessing several factors.
If you score a minimum score of 67 out of 100 on the Federal Government’s Express Entry matrix grid, you may be invited to apply to immigrate through one of the NBPNP’s programs. If you are assessed to be a good candidate for settling in New Brunswick, the province may nominate you to be to submit an application for permanent resident status. Your application then goes into a Citizenship and Immigration Canada pool and the federal government makes the final decision on your status, with higher scores increasing the chances of success.
