New Brunswick Immigration Program Streams

 

New Brunswick’s immigration program streams are pathways to permanent residence (PR) for foreign workers who have the skills, education, and work experience necessary to successfully contribute to New Brunswick’s economy.

When applying to many of these programs, you must be PR ready. This means that you meet all minimum eligibility requirements and have all the required documents on hand to prepare and submit a complete and correct application to the province of New Brunswick and to the Government of Canada.

Each of our economic immigration program streams have different eligibility requirements relating to age, language test scores, education levels, and professional experience. Be sure that you are eligible for a program stream before you prepare to submit an application. Each stream’s eligibility requirements vary program to program, so please review your desired stream program guides for information on eligibility requirements for each program.
