What the streams targeted
– Skilled Worker stream: used three pathways — New Brunswick Experience (workers already in the province with at least six months’ full‑time work), New Brunswick Priorities (priority NOC hires from recruitment missions with at least one year of experience), and New Brunswick Graduates (international graduates with eligible PGWP programs and full‑time work or an offer).
– Strategic Initiative stream: focused on francophone pathways, including francophone workers with provincial ties and francophone graduates of eligible programs.
– Express Entry stream: Employment in New Brunswick pathway targeted candidates who lived in the province for at least 12 months and worked full‑time in TEER 0–3 occupations.
– AIP: employer-driven endorsements for designated employers; candidates invited may apply for a provincial certificate of endorsement to support a federal PR application.
Occupations repeatedly invited
Construction and other trades, education and social/community services, health care, manufacturing, professional and IT roles, sales and services, and transportation were commonly selected across the draws.
Who benefits
– Health care workers (invited in every draw)
– Foreign workers already employed in New Brunswick (meeting 6‑ or 12‑month thresholds depending on pathway)
– International graduates of eligible New Brunswick post‑secondary programs
– Francophone candidates with provincial ties
– Employers with eligible job offers or designated status (AIP and certain NBPNP pathways)
Practical next steps
– If invited, apply promptly for provincial nomination (NBPNP) or a certificate of endorsement (AIP) and submit complete, accurate documentation.
– Verify that job offers come from eligible New Brunswick employers and, where relevant, were obtained through a provincial recruitment mission.
– Gather employment records proving continuous full‑time work for the required period (six or 12 months).
– International graduates should confirm their program was PGWP‑eligible and prepare proof of current employment or a valid job offer.
– Francophone candidates should prepare language evidence and proof of provincial connections.
– AIP candidates must meet federal program requirements (language, work experience, education, settlement funds) in addition to provincial endorsement.
– Note the specific cut‑off dates and times used for each draw; eligibility depends on meeting the relevant deadline.
What to watch next
New Brunswick is using multiple targeted streams to address labour needs while favouring candidates with established ties to the province. Expect future rounds to continue focusing on health care, trades and other in‑demand occupations. Prepare documentation in advance so you can respond quickly if invited.
