UPDATE: Because of the global crisis due to the COVID19 pandemic, NBPNP has now reverted to online, virtual information sessions and job fairs. Please keep checking the NBPNP website and this blog for updates.

Please note that there is no “Connection to New Brunswick” for the purposes of the NB Express Entry stream—that policy was ended in 2018.

Unfortunately this means attending an information session will no longer qualify you to submit an EOI

There are 5 immigration streams in the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) which help immigrants come to the province.

1. The NB Express Entry Stream is designed for Foreign Nationals with the skills, education and work experience to contribute to New Brunswick’s economy, who are ready to live and work in New Brunswick and meet the requirements for each stage of the Express Entry Stream. Applicants who wish to apply and qualify through the EE stream need to submit their Expressions of Interests through the INB portal.
2. The Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP). This is a pilot project, unique to the Atlantic region and is an employer-driven immigration program to attract and retain global talent while supporting population growth and addressing labour shortages.
3. The NB Skilled Worker Stream is designed for Foreign Nationals who possess the skills, education and work experience needed to contribute to New Brunswick’s economy. Candidates must meet the program’s minimum eligibility requirements, have a genuine offer of employment from a New Brunswick Employer and have the full intent to live and work in the province on a permanent basis.
4. The NB Entrepreneurial Stream is designed for experienced business owners and senior managers who wish to become permanent residents by owning a business in New Brunswick (NB) and managing it, while residing in the Province.
5. The NB Strategic Initiative, which launches in January 2020, is for French-speaking workers with the skills, education and work experience to contribute to New Brunswick’s economy, and who are ready to live and work in New Brunswick permanently.

Below is a listing of the upcoming information sessions and employer-driven recruitment events. Participation at all events is by INVITATION ONLY. There are three types of events which may be posted on the website:

1. Information Session: this is a limited-seating information session about living and working in New Brunswick and provides an overview of specific immigration pathways. The number of seats available are limited.
2. Job Fair: this is an employer-driven event where employers invite qualified candidates to meet with them to discuss specific job opportunities. This is not open an open forum. This is NOT an open forum.
3. Entrepreneurial Information Session: this is an information session for current Managers or Business Owners (only) looking to learn more about (and are prepared to) starting or buying a business in New Brunswick, Canada.

The steps to register and then attend are as follows:

1. Go to the NB recruitment events web page.
2. Register to attend an event by first selecting, “Sign Up” next to the event you want to attend below.
3. Receive an email inviting you to attend a specific event if you are selected. You must bring a printed or electronic copy of this invitation as proof you were invited to the event. ONLY register once per event, the system will automatically remove multiple registrations for the same individual.
4. If you are unable to attend the specific event for which you are invited, the invitation MAY NOT be used at another event in the future (the invitation is for one event). You must register for and receive an event-specific invitation.

Please note that the only way to attend an upcoming information session is by registering online. Emails asking for permission to attend or updates will be deleted with no additional response. If the registration is closed, it means that you were not selected to attend.
