Work & Immigrate to New Brunswick

A Practical Guide for Skilled Workers

If you are planning to work in Canada and apply for permanent residence, New Brunswick offers realistic pathways — especially through recruitment events connected to provincial immigration programs.

This guide explains how recruitment events work, why they matter, and how they connect to the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP).

Recruitment Events — What You Need to Know

The Government of New Brunswick organizes recruitment events throughout the year to attract skilled workers.

These events take place:

• Internationally (Europe, North Africa, UK and other regions)
• Across Canada (for temporary residents and workers)
• Online (virtual recruitment sessions)

Events usually focus on specific sectors such as:

• Healthcare and nursing
• Truck drivers and transportation
• Skilled trades
• Education
• Hospitality and tourism
• Multisector hiring

Employers attending these events are actively recruiting for positions in New Brunswick.

How Recruitment Events Help with Immigration

The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program selects candidates based on the province’s labour market needs.

In many cases:

• A valid job offer from a New Brunswick employer strengthens your profile
• Candidates with employment connections to New Brunswick are prioritized
• Certain occupations are targeted during specific recruitment missions

Attending a recruitment event gives you direct access to employers and increases your chances of securing a job offer that can support a provincial nomination.

Step-by-Step: How to Prepare

Step 1 — Register Early

Review the official New Brunswick Immigration Events Calendar and apply as soon as registration opens. Some events have limited capacity.

Step 2 — Prepare Your Documents

Before attending, make sure you have:

• A professional Canadian-style resume
• Copies of education credentials
• Language test results (if available)
• Reference letters from employers
• Valid passport

Proper preparation increases your credibility with employers.

Step 3 — Attend and Follow Up

During the event:

• Speak directly with employers
• Ask about long-term employment opportunities
• Understand employer requirements
• Follow up after interviews

Some candidates receive interviews shortly after attending.

Step 4 — Connect Employment to NBPNP

If you receive a qualifying job offer:

• Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) under NBPNP
• Wait for a possible Invitation to Apply (ITA)
• Apply for nomination
• Once nominated, apply federally for permanent residence

This pathway provides a structured route toward permanent settlement in Canada.

Who Should Consider These Events?

Recruitment events are suitable for:

• Skilled workers outside Canada
• Temporary residents in Canada
• Healthcare professionals
• Trades workers
• Transportation workers
• International graduates
• Candidates committed to settling in New Brunswick

Important to Remember

Attending a recruitment event does not guarantee permanent residence. However, it improves your chances by connecting you with employers and aligning your profile with provincial labour needs.
