Immigration New Brunswick (ImmigrationNB) uses an expression of interest system to manage the intake of immigration applications for the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP). Before you can submit a complete application, you must submit an expression of interest in the INB portal.
ImmigrationNB will review these expressions of interest and issue invitations to apply based on provincial labour market needs, available allocation, and any other factors and priorities determined by the Government of New Brunswick.
Meeting the eligibility criteria for an NBPNP stream does not guarantee that you will be invited to apply. Moreover, receiving an invitation to apply does not guarantee that you will be nominated.
If you are invited to apply, you must submit a complete application under the stream specified in your invitation, typically within 45 days.
