The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is designed to encourage applicants who wish to migrate to Canada and live and establish their lives in New Brunswick on a permanent basis.
The New Brunswick PNP grants permanent residency to individuals who wish to migrate to Canada and who have valuable skills and experience as well as a guaranteed job offer. Alternatively, individuals may be able to start a business project which would create other jobs in the province.
