How the New Brunswick PNP Works
The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) operates through an Expression of Interest (EOI) system, where interested applicants submit their profiles through the Immigration NB portal. The province reviews applications based on labor market needs, available allocations, and other economic factors.
However, meeting eligibility criteria does not guarantee an invitation. Only selected candidates receive invitations to apply (ITA), and they must submit a complete application within 45 days to be considered for provincial nomination.
Predicting the Next New Brunswick PNP Draw
New Brunswick generally conducts monthly draws, although the frequency and number of invitations vary based on application inventory and workforce demands. The upcoming draws are expected to continue prioritizing sectors with labor shortages, particularly in healthcare, education, social services, and construction.
