New Brunswick is a place in Canada on the east side. Around
820,000 people live there. New Brunswick is special because it's the only
province in Canada where people speak two languages officially. There are 8 big
towns in New Brunswick. Every year, the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee
Program helps about 5,500 new people come to Canada. They have programs for
different kinds of workers and students.
New Brunswick is one of three provinces in Eastern Canada.
It used to be owned by France and now has many French-speaking people. The New
Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program helps people from other countries start
their careers here.
The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) asks skilled workers and businesspeople from different countries to come live and work here as permanent residents. The province wants to bring in more skilled workers because there aren't enough locals to fill all the jobs.
The application fee for the PNP program is $250.
It usually takes 6-8 weeks to process your application after it's been received.
