INTRODUCTION

The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP), administered by the Department of Post-secondary Education, Training and Labour (PETL), is an immigration program that allows the Government of New Brunswick to nominate individuals with the greatest ability to become economically established in New Brunswick. This immigration stream is part of an economic immigration program and is not intended for family reunification, protected persons or for humanitarian and compassionate reasons.

When applying to any of New Brunswick’s immigration streams, you must be PR Ready. It means that you meet all minimum eligibility requirements and selection factors and have all the required documents on hand to prepare and submit a complete and correct application to the Government of New Brunswick and to the Government of Canada. Being PR Ready means more efficient processing, fewer delays and a better experience navigating the New Brunswick and Canadian immigration programs. In most cases, this means your application will be processed faster

NBPNP applications require two stages of approval before PR status may be obtained.

Stage 1: Application to the NBPNP for a nomination certificate If you meet all eligibility criteria and selection factors, and you have the support of your New Brunswick employer as indicated through a completed and signed Employer Information form (NBPNP-004), you can then apply to the NBPNP by submitting an online application. The processing time varies depending on the time required for the verification of documents included in your application and on the volume of applications received. In some cases, you may be asked to attend an interview.

Stage 2: Application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for a PR visa If you are nominated by PETL, you may then apply to the Government of Canada for a PR visa, through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). In this case, you will send your application to the IRCC Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. You, your spouse and dependents must meet statutory requirements for medical, security and criminal admissibility. IRCC has the final authority to issue a PR visa. There is no guarantee that IRCC will approve your PR application even if you are nominated by PETL.

Important Information

Provincial immigration pathways are dependent upon federal immigration allocations, application volumes and labour market needs. For this reason:

PETL will determine the availability of immigration streams and categories depending on the volume of applications;
PETL reserves the right to close or pause application intake without prior notice for any stream, at any time;
PETL is not obligated to process any expression of interest or application submitted to one of its streams or categories;
PETL may decline to consider applications, irrespective of when an application was submitted;
PETL will assess applications according to the most current criteria, regardless of the date of submission of an application;
PETL will process applications at its discretion and in a manner that best supports the goals of the NBPNP. This can be based on application volumes, quality of individual applications, labour market information, economic forecasting and/or any other factors as determined by PETL;
PETL will grant priority processing to applicants who have the greatest ability to become established economically in New Brunswick – as determined by PETL – and will not process applications on a first come, first served basis;
The decision to process (or assess) any application and the outcome is at the sole discretion of PETL; and
The decision to issue a nomination certificate is at the sole discretion of PETL.

By submitting an application to IRCC, employers and applicants agree and acknowledge that:

Receipt of a nomination certificate from PETL does not guarantee that a PR visa will be issued by IRCC; • IRCC has the sole authority to decide if persons will receive a PR visa. PETL is not responsible for any processes or decisions of IRCC; and
IRCC will assess the application based on Canadian immigration law and make the final decision for granting a PR visa.

SKILLED WORKER STREAM

The New Brunswick Skilled Worker Stream helps New Brunswick employers recruit foreign nationals and international graduates whose skills are in limited supply in the province and who have been unable to fill job vacancies with a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (PR).

The New Brunswick Skilled Worker Stream is for 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

When applying to any of New Brunswick’s immigration streams, you must be PR Ready. In the New Brunswick Skilled Worker Stream, it means that you meet all minimum eligibility requirements and selection factors and have all the required documents on hand to prepare and submit a complete and correct application to the Government of New Brunswick and to the Government of Canada. Being PR Ready means more efficient processing, fewer delays and a better experience navigating the New Brunswick and Canadian immigration programs. In most cases, this means your application will be processed faster.

NBPNP applications require two stages of approval before PR status may be obtained.

Stage 1: Application to the NBPNP for a nomination certificate

If you meet all eligibility criteria and selection factors, and you have the support of your New Brunswick employer as indicated through a completed and signed Employer Information form (NBPNP-004), you can then apply to the NBPNP by submitting an online application. The processing time varies depending on the time required for the verification of documents included in your application and on the volume of applications received. In some cases, you may be asked to attend an interview.

Stage 2: Application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for a PR visa

If you are nominated by PETL, you may then apply to the Government of Canada for a PR visa, through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). In this case, you will send your application to the IRCC Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. You, your spouse and dependents must meet statutory requirements for medical, security and criminal admissibility. IRCC has the final authority to issue a PR visa. There is no guarantee that IRCC will approve your PR application even if you are nominated by PETL.

Eligibility requirements

There are requirements for each stage of the New Brunswick Skilled Worker Stream process including registration, application and nomination. You must meet the minimum eligibility requirements for age, language, job offer, work experience and education, and score a minimum of 60 points in the selection factors to be considered for nomination by PETL.

Eligibility requirements must be met at the time of registration, application and nomination. Meeting eligibility requirements does not guarantee that you will be nominated.

You intend to reside in New Brunswick. It is your responsibility to prove a genuine intention to reside in New Brunswick as described in Section 87(2) (b) of the Immigration Refugee Protection Act, S C 2001, c 27, Regulations which state that “a foreign national is a member of the nominee class if they intend to reside in the province that nominated them”.

To establish intent, you may be asked to demonstrate your attachment to New Brunswick that may include, but are not limited to:

A description of any actions you have taken to permanently settle in New Brunswick;
Current employment in New Brunswick;
Employment search details;
The length of any previous and/or current period of residence in New Brunswick;
Community involvement;
Ability to support yourself in New Brunswick;
Your connections to New Brunswick through work, study or family;
Professional networks and affiliations;
Residency including household lease agreements and/or property ownership;
Family ties and other social relationships and connections;
Details of prior visits to Canada; and
Your connection to other jurisdictions in Canada

You received a genuine offer of employment. A New Brunswick employer has offered, and you have accepted, permanent, full time, year-round (non-seasonal) employment in an eligible occupation. Permanent means the job has no pre-determined end date; it is a long-term job offer. Full-time means that you are expected to work a minimum of 30 hours per week, or 1,560 hours per year.

You are qualified for the position. It is your responsibility to demonstrate that you are qualified for the position. PETL may refer to the National Occupation Code (NOC) and industry standards, etc., to determine the minimum qualifications for an occupation

High-skilled workers are defined as individuals with an occupation within NOC 0, A, B. Semiskilled workers have occupations that fall under NOC C. Low-skilled workers have occupations that fall under NOC D skill type 7, 8 and 9, as well as NOC 6711 (Food Counter Attendants) and NOC 6731 (Light-duty Cleaners).

PETL reserves the right to consider only certain types of jobs and occupations for nomination. Decisions are based on the economic situation of the New Brunswick labour market, current inventory, yearly nomination allocations distributed by IRCC, and any other factors determined by PETL.

You are offered a competitive wage. The wage you have been offered must be competitive with New Brunswick wage rates for the occupation. The wage stated on your offer of employment must:

meet or exceed the median wage level for the occupation in the region of New Brunswick where you will be working.
be comparable to the rate paid to workers with a similar level of experience and training for equivalent jobs in New Brunswick; and
be consistent with the wage compensation structure of your employer.

PETL will not consider bonuses, commissions, profit-sharing distributions, tips/gratuities, overtime wages, housing allowances, room and board, or other similar payments to be part of your wage.

If you were originally hired on a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), the wage you are earning at the time of registration and/or application must be equal to or greater than the wage stated in the offer of employment and on the LMIA.

Your employer is willing to support the application

All applications submitted through the NB Skilled Worker stream must be supported by an Employer Information Form (NBPNP-004) completed by the employer and signed by both the employer and the applicant. Applications submitted without the express support of the New Brunswick employer, as indicated by this form, are not eligible for nomination under this stream

Regulated occupations in New Brunswick

A regulatory authority is an organization, usually provincial, responsible for ensuring members of the occupation follow the rules outlined by legislation. This includes making sure that workers meet all necessary requirements and follow occupational standards. In general, standards are set to protect the public’s health and safety, or the environment.

One of the first steps in becoming certified or licensed in New Brunswick is to obtain an equivalency for the foreign qualifications you have earned outside of Canada. Your academic credentials and work experience will be evaluated to determine how your credentials and experience compare to Canadian-trained professionals.

Selection factors

The New Brunswick Skilled Worker Stream is open to foreign nationals, living in Canada or abroad, who have an offer of employment for a full-time, permanent position from an employer based in New Brunswick. To apply to the stream, you must make sure that you meet all eligibility requirements. If all eligibility requirements have been met, you will be assessed according to the following selection: age, language, education, previous work experience, priority sectors, and adaptability. A minimum of 60 of 100 points is required to be successful.

The Province reviews EOIs and issues Invitations to Apply (ITA). If an ITA is sent to you, then you can submit a full application online. The processing time varies depending on the time required for the verification of documents included in your application and on the volume of applications received. In some cases, you may be asked to attend an interview. Successful applications result in the Province issuing a letter of support for a temporary work permit.

Stage 2: Obtaining your Work Permit from the Federal Government

Persons who are not Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents may require a temporary resident visa (TRV) to enter Canada. If you do not require a visa to enter Canada, you may require an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). You must ensure that you have the travel documents required for travel to New Brunswick. PETL does not provide letters of support for TRVs and ETAs, or otherwise intervene on your behalf in the event you are denied admission to Canada as a temporary resident (either as a visitor, student or worker).

PETL will not make any arrangements nor incur any costs related to an exploratory visit. An exploratory visit does not guarantee an eventual nomination

Genuine Job Offer

The employment or offer of employment must be genuine.

A New Brunswick employer has offered, and you have accepted, permanent, full time, yearround (non-seasonal) employment in an occupation classified at NOC Skill-level of 0. A, B, C, or D. Permanent means the job has no pre-determined end date; it is a long-term job offer. Fulltime means that you are expected to work a minimum of 30 hours per week, or 1,560 hours per year.

PETL uses the NOC to classify jobs according to duties, skills, aptitudes and work settings for occupations in the Canadian labour market. The NOC helps determine whether a job meets the skill levels established for skilled, semi-skilled and low-skilled worker occupations, and whether the candidate’s qualifications and experience match the requirements of the job. PETL differentiates between skilled workers, semi-skilled and low-skilled workers. High skilled workers are defined as individuals with an occupation within NOC 0, A, B. Semiskilled workers have occupations that fall under NOC C. Low-skilled workers have occupations that fall under NOC D.

The wage must be competitive

The wage you have been offered must be competitive with New Brunswick wage rates for the occupation. The wage stated on your offer of employment must:

meet or exceed the median wage level for the occupation in the region of New Brunswick where you will be working.
be comparable to the rate paid to workers with a similar level of experience and training for equivalent jobs in New Brunswick; and
be consistent with the wage compensation structure of your employer

PETL will not consider bonuses, commissions, profit-sharing distributions, tips/gratuities, overtime wages, housing allowances, room and board, or other similar payments to be part of your wage. If you were originally hired on a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), the wage you are earning at the time of registration and/or application must be equal or greater.

Regulated occupations in New Brunswick

In general, standards are set to protect the public’s health and safety, or the environment. One of the first steps in becoming certified or licensed in New Brunswick is to obtain an equivalency for the foreign qualifications you have earned outside of Canada. Your academic credentials and work experience will be evaluated to determine how your credentials and experience compare to Canadian-trained professionals.

B. Direct Invitation

B. Direct Invitation Based on economic priorities and capacity of the stream, on a very limited basis, the Province may directly invite a candidate from the Expression of Interest (EOI) pool to submit a full application. This is not a guarantee of nomination. Individuals contacting the Province requesting a direct invite will not be considered.

6. Settlement Funds (to support yourself and your family - even if they are not coming with you to Canada).

Funds must be readily available to you. For example, you can't use equity on real property as proof of settlement funds.

You also can’t borrow this money from another person. You must be able to use this money to pay the costs of living for your family (even if they aren’t coming with you).

Your application will also be evaluated, in part, on a settlement plan, prepared by you, that clearly illustrates:

Your knowledge of the provincial labour market;
Your ability to identify employment opportunities associated with your occupation;
Your understanding of the how to get a job in New Brunswick;
Your awareness of the pathways to licensure for regulated occupations (if applicable); and
Ability to identify a community or region to live and work in and provide reasons how the area will help you to become economically established.

The Settlement Plan is required of ALL applicants and is different from the Exploratory Visit Report, although the two documents may share some elements.

Selection factors

If all eligibility requirements have been met, you will be assessed according to the following selection factors: age, language, education, previous work experience, arranged offer of employment and adaptability. These selection factors are categorized using a points system. You must score a minimum of 65 of 100 points to be successful.

ATLANTIC IMMIGRATION PILOT PROJECT

The New Brunswick Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (NB AIPP), administered by the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour (PETL), is an immigration program that allows the Government of New Brunswick to help designated employers recruit and hire individuals with the skills, education and work experience to fill labour marker shortages in New Brunswick, and who are ready to live and work in New Brunswick permanently. The program is not intended for family reunification, protected persons or for humanitarian and compassionate reasons

The Atlantic Immigration Pilot helps you hire qualified candidates for jobs you haven’t been able to fill locally. These candidates can be overseas or living in Canada temporarily. There are 3 programs you can use to hire someone:

Atlantic International Graduate Program
Atlantic High-skilled Program
Atlantic Intermediate-skilled Program Each program has requirements that you and the candidate must meet.

If you and the candidate meet all the requirements, the candidate gets permanent resident status in Canada

Before you make a job offer, you must be designated by the provincial government of the Atlantic province where the candidate will be working. Once you make a job offer, you and the candidate will work through several steps. Being “designated” means you can offer jobs under the Atlantic Immigration Pilot.

Your first point of contact is the Employment Development Office in your region to learn about services available to New Brunswick employers. An Employment Officer will work with you to discuss your workforce needs and the Employment Services that might be available to you, and they will conduct a needs assessment. If immigration is identified as a potential pathway to meet your workforce needs, your company will be referred to an Immigration Program Officer at PETL for further consideration. The Officer will contact you to discuss our economic immigration programs. They might invite you to submit an application for AIPP designation.

To be designated, your organization, shall:

have been invited to apply for designation by PETL;
be in good standing (see below);
have been in continuous, active operation in New Brunswick for at least 2 years prior to designation; and
Work with a settlement service provider organization to help your candidates get settlement services.

An employer in good standing shall, at a minimum:

be operating a genuine business;
be financially sound;
be in good standing with any provincial and or federal legislation governing employment standards and occupational health and safety legislation; and
Not be in violation of the Immigration and Refugees Protection Act (IRPA) or Immigration and Refugees Protection Regulations (IRPR).

Please Note: Employers must be actively engaged in the NB business, and therefore directly connected to the employment of the candidate. Consequently, recruitment-type, temporary placement-type, or broker-type agencies (i.e. where candidates are endorsed by the designated employer and then contracted out to other businesses) are not permitted.

Hiring a Foreign Worker

As an employer you are responsible for screening and selecting candidates that are best suited for the job. When hiring foreign workers, you have the additional responsibility of ensuring that candidates meet immigration requirements. The is best accomplished during the hiring process. You need to consider the following when recruiting and hiring foreign workers. Demonstrating genuine labour market needs Hiring a foreign national must not adversely affect employment for Canadian citizens or PRs living in New Brunswick. Generally, PETL will only support applications in occupations where labour market information shows that employers cannot find individuals in New Brunswick with the necessary skills to do the job and where there is indication of a skills shortage. It is the responsibility of the employer to demonstrate that there is a genuine labour market need for the position. PETL, however, will consider local labour market conditions.

Employers may be required to demonstrate genuine labour market needs through recruitment efforts and advertising.

Genuine recruitment efforts are assessed against, but not limited to the following:

Recruitment methods and duration that favor Canadian citizens or PRs;
Recruitment efforts are consistent with industry standards and practices;
• Information listed in recruitment advertisements are reasonable and sufficient to allow Canadian citizens or PRs to qualify for the position;
Candidates are not required to have a foreign network or foreign work experience; and
Advertisements are not created for a particular candidate or group of people. Minimum requirements for advertising include:
Posting in three different locations, one being national in scope and considered to be an effective method of recruiting for the position.

Acceptable recruitment advertisement locations include: Job Bank, recognized job posting websites, professional association websites, national newspapers, and professional journals and newsletters; and

An employer in good standing shall, at a minimum:

Advertising for at least four weeks, in the six months prior to the date of the job offer to the Foreign National applicant.

Advertisements must include the company operating name, contact information, location of work, job title and duties, language, education and/or qualifications, skill requirements and work experience.

Establishing a relationship with the candidate during the hiring process

Employers are required to establish an employer/employee relationship. PETL will not consider applications from individuals who have not been vetted through the employer, by an executive recruitment team created by the employer, or by a specialized human resources recruitment agency. You may be asked to explain the hiring process.

You need to ensure the candidate is qualified for the position being offered. PETL will refer to the National Occupation Code (NOC) and industry standards, etc., to determine the minimum qualifications for an occupation. PETL uses the NOC to classify jobs according to duties, skills, aptitudes and work settings for occupations in the Canadian labour market. The NOC helps determine whether a job meets the skill levels established for skilled, semi-skilled and lowskilled worker occupations, and whether the candidate’s qualifications and experience match the requirements of the job. PETL differentiates between skilled workers, semi-skilled and lowskilled workers

Work Permits

When a work permit (or work permit renewal) is required, the employer must pay a federal compliance fee of $230 and submit an offer of employment form through the IRCC Employer Portal before the applicant can submit an application for their work permit. Offering competitive wages

The wage offered must be competitive with New Brunswick wage rates for the occupation. The wage stated on the offer of employment must:

meet or exceed the median wage level for the occupation in the region of New Brunswick where the Foreign National applicant will be working.
be comparable to the rate paid to workers with a similar level of experience and training for equivalent jobs in New Brunswick; and
be consistent with the wage compensation structure for the business of the employer. Considering intent to reside in New Brunswick when selecting candidates

It is the candidate’s responsibility to prove a genuine intention to reside in New Brunswick as described in Section 87(2) (b) of the Immigration Refugee Protection Act, S C 2001, c 27, Regulations which state that “a foreign national is a member of the nominee class if they intend to reside in the province that endorsed them”.

To establish intent, PETL may ask the candidate to demonstrate their attachment to New Brunswick, including:

A description of any actions they have taken to permanently settle in New Brunswick;
Current employment in New Brunswick;
Employment search details;
The length of any previous and/or current period of residence in New Brunswick;
Community involvement;
Ability to support themselves in New Brunswick;
Their connections to New Brunswick through work, study or family;
Professional networks and affiliations;
Professional networks and affiliations;
Residency including household lease agreements and/or property ownership;
Family ties and other social relationships and connections;
Details of prior visits to Canada; and
Their residency and employment in other Canadian jurisdictions.

Respecting the rights and obligations of foreign workers

Foreign workers have the same rights and obligations under the Employment Standards Act as all employees in New Brunswick, and employers cannot:

require foreign workers to use and pay an immigration consultant;
recover ineligible recruitment and transportation costs from the foreign worker;
misrepresent employment opportunities;
supply false information about employer and employee rights and responsibilities;
prevent workers from vacating employer provided accommodations for private accommodations;
reduce wages or changing any other terms or conditions of employment undertaken in the recruitment of a foreign worker
hreaten deportation; and
take possession of a foreign worker’s identity documents (e.g., passport) and work permit.

Understanding regulated occupations

There are a variety of regulated occupations in New Brunswick. If the employer’s intended job offer is in a regulated occupation, the Foreign National applicant accepting that job offer is required to be certified or licensed by the regulatory authority for that occupation.

One of the first steps in becoming certified or licensed in New Brunswick is to obtain an equivalency for the foreign qualifications that the Foreign National applicant has earned outside of Canada. Academic credentials and work experience will be evaluated to determine how the Foreign National applicant’s credentials and experience compare to Canadian-trained professionals.
