New Brunswick Pilot Program Welcomes Skilled Migrants

Since its launch in November 2022, the New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot Programme has attracted a lot of interest. Targeting skilled immigrants to the province, this program is a joint effort between the governments of Canada's federal government and New Brunswick. There are six employers involved in the program, which is managed under the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Programme (NB PNP), who are spread out across several industries. The program presents exceptional prospects for qualified candidates with an emphasis on settlement support and long-term retention.


Program View


•   10% of the total Provincial Nominee program in New Brunswick is allotted to the Critical Worker Pilot Programme.


•   Opportunities New Brunswick (ONB) reports that the program has had early success, with help for 300 applicants and their families expected in 2023.


•   The ONB is keeping a close eye on the program’s results and is still upbeat about its potential to draw skilled immigrants to the province.


•   However, the program’s scope is currently constrained, and there are no immediate plans to expand it to include more firms.


Employers Taking Part In The Employer-Driven Stream


A branch of the NB PNP that is driven by employers and created to solve particular manpower requirements is the Critical Worker Pilot program. Six participating firms that are renowned for their great immigrant hiring practices and ongoing settlement initiatives are included in the program. Cooke Aquaculture Inc., Groupe Savoie Inc., Groupe Westco, Imperial Manufacturing, J.D. Irving Ltd., and McCain Foods are among these companies' employers. These employers were chosen based on their track record of successful immigrant hiring and their capacity to offer essential settlement assistance.


Differentiating Features


•   The additional settlement help offered to qualified candidates is what distinguishes the Critical Worker Pilot program from other programs. Participating firms must prove their dedication to the successful integration and retention of candidates in their new workplaces and communities in order to be eligible for this help.


•   They must create thorough relocation plans that include housing and transportation, provide in-depth human resource planning, offer language assistance as needed, and assist applicants interested in attaining Canadian secondary education equivalency.


Criteria For Eligibility And The Application Process


Candidates must have a legitimate employment offer from an acceptable employer and demonstrate a desire to settle in the province in order to be considered for the provincial nomination. The employment offer should contain a competitive salary that is in line with the provincial average for the profession. Interested applicants must submit their applications to one of the cooperating employers rather than the provincial government.


The Success Of Migration In New Brunswick


Migration has significantly increased New Brunswick's population in recent years. The Atlantic Migration Programme and the NB PNP will each be given 5,500 seats in 2023, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association, which claims that the province has obtained a 67% increase in migration funding from the federal government.


With a focus on settlement assistance, long-term retention, and partnerships between employers and the provincial government, the New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot Programme presents an exciting opportunity for talented immigrants. The program strives to successfully address labor shortages. Building on the accomplishments and lessons learned from programs like the Critical Worker Pilot program, New Brunswick expects to continue luring skilled immigrants through creative migration streams.
