New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP)
New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) provides several pathways towards permanent residency for foreign nationals who intend to live in New Brunswick. Similarly to other Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), New Brunswick PNP targets workers, international graduates and entrepreneurs.
How Does the New Brunswick PNP Work?
Candidates interested in the New Brunswick PNP must first qualify for one of its immigration streams. In most cases, candidates will need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to NBPNP prior to the actual Provincial Nnominee Program application. If a candidate receives an Invitation to Apply, he or she can proceed and submit a complete provincial nominee application.
Successful candidates will receive the Provincial Nomination Certificate, which allows them to submit the federal application for Permanent Residence.
