Before you begin
Read this guide carefully to learn about what you need to do to submit a complete
application to the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP).

The terms “family member” or “dependent” refer to any the following individuals:
• your spouse or common-law partner;
• your dependent child; or
• a child of your dependant.

To be considered a dependent, a child must meet either of the following definitions:

• be under 22 years old and not be married or in a common-law relationship; or
• be 22 years of age or older, have depended substantially on the financial support of
the parent since before the age of 22, and be unable to support themself financially
due to a physical or mental condition.

You must provide details about your family members in your application, along with
supporting documents, even if they are not immigrating to Canada with you.

Submitting an expression of interest is free of charge. If you are invited to apply, you must
pay a non-refundable fee of CAN$250 through your INB portal account. There is no additional
fee for family members included in your application.

You can pay with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex, INTERAC Online, and Visa Debit.

This guide is provided free of charge by ImmigrationNB and is not to be

sold.

If information on the ImmigrationNB website is different from the

information in this program guide, the guide is considered correct. Always
use the newest version of the guide.

Overview
This pathway may be right for you if you

2. received a letter of interest from ImmigrationNB in your federal Express Entry profile;

Status in Canada
If you are living in Canada during the immigration application process, you must maintain
valid legal status. This means you must be authorized to enter and remain in Canada as a
temporary resident for a specific period, whether as a visitor, student, or worker. Do not
apply if you are in Canada without legal status.

MAINTAINED STATUS
You may apply for provincial nomination if you are a temporary resident with maintained
status in Canada. Your status is maintained if you have applied to Immigration, Refugees,
and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to renew or extend your period of authorized stay before it
expires.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
You are responsible for maintaining your status in Canada. ImmigrationNB cannot guarantee
that your application will be processed before the expiry of your current status. Additionally,
there is no guarantee that you will receive a provincial nomination.

If your current work permit is expiring soon, you can visit IRCC’s Client Support Centre to
learn more about renewing, changing, or extending your work permit. Your employer may
also be able to support your work permit application by getting a Labour Market Impact
Assessment (LMIA). Keep in mind that obtaining a new LMIA can be a lengthy process.

The federal government—through IRCC—is responsible for all decisions with respect to legal
status, including the approval or refusal of your temporary status in Canada.

If you need personalized assistance, you may wish to contact a Canadian immigration lawyer
or Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC).

If you are nominated, you may then be eligible to apply for a bridging open work permit
(BOWP) or an employer-specific closed work permit. Refer to the Post-Nomination Guide for
more information.

Eligibility
This section explains the minimum requirements and selection factors. For more details on
the documents that you’ll need to submit, see the “Required documents” section.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
You must meet the minimum requirements
• when you submit your expression of interest; otherwise, it will not be considered.
• at the time of application; otherwise, your application will be refused.

1. Valid federal Express Entry profile

You must have a valid profile in the federal Express Entry pool. In the application, provide
the following:
• your Express Entry profile number; and
• your job seeker validation code.

Your federal Express Entry profile must be valid at the time of your provincial nomination.
We recommend that it should be valid for at least 6 months when you submit your
expression of interest to ImmigrationNB.

2. Letter of interest
You must have received a letter of interest from ImmigrationNB in your federal Express Entry
profile. You may receive this letter if you appear to meet any of the following criteria:
• You or your spouse have a close family member who is a Canadian citizen or
permanent resident that has been residing in New Brunswick as for at least 12
months.
• You have attended an information session (international recruitment event) led by
the Government of New Brunswick within the last 12 months.
• You are francophone and your primary occupation is in a sector in demand in
New Brunswick.

3. Skilled work experience

Start by identifying the National Occupational Classification (NOC) code for your skilled work
experience, also known as your “primary occupation” NOC code. Your nomination
application will be based on this code.

Make sure the NOC code for your primary occupation in the INB portal matches the one on
your federal Express Entry profile.

Page 5 of 22
Your primary occupation may not be your most recent job. Additionally, the primary
occupation NOC code may not match the NOC code for your job in New Brunswick.

Your skilled work experience must

• be paid work;
• fall under TEER category 0, 1, 2, or 3 of the NOC;
• have been obtained within the last 10 years, in Canada or abroad; and
• be at least 1 year of continuous work.

You can meet the “1 year of continuous work” requirement in a few different ways:

Full time
• You worked at least 30 hours a week for at least 12 consecutive months, which is
equal to a total of at least 1,560 hours a year.

Part time
• You worked less than 30 hours a week for as many consecutive months as needed to
achieve a total of 1,560 hours, such as 15 hours a week for 24 months.
• We don’t count any hours worked beyond 30 hours a week.

Student work experience

• Work experience gained while studying may count towards your minimum
requirements if it meets the description of skilled work experience mentioned above.

In the application, provide a work experience supporting document, usually a reference

letter.

This document must show that you performed the actions in the lead
statement of your primary occupation NOC code, including most of the
main duties listed.

Each letter should be printed on the organization’s letterhead and include the following
elements:
• Your name
• The organization’s address, telephone number, email address, and website
• The name, title, and signature of your immediate supervisor or of an authorized
person of the organization
• Details of your employment, including all positions held, duties of each position,
duration of employment, number of work hours per week, annual salary, and benefits

Page 6 of 22
Other documents may be considered if they show similar information. If available, provide
your pay stubs and tax documents from the same period.

If you worked in a designated or regulated occupation, include a valid license or certificate

during that period from the applicable certifying or regulatory body.

Self-employment experience may be accepted if you can provide third-party documents

showing the information described above.

4. Language skills
You must take an approved language test to assess your knowledge of English or French.

Use these equivalency charts to convert your test scores to

• the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) equivalents if you took an English test; or
• the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) equivalents if you took a
French test.

Your language test report must show that you have at least a CLB/NCLC 7 in
• reading,
• writing,
• listening, and
• speaking.

You cannot combine scores from multiple test reports. Your test report must be less than 2
years old on the day you apply for permanent residence to IRCC.

ImmigrationNB may ask you to retake a language test if your current results
are soon to expire.

5. Education
You must have at least a Canadian high school diploma or a foreign equivalent.

In the application, provide the following documents:

• your official certificate, diploma, or degree; and
• your official transcript.

If the above documents are issued by a learning institution outside of Canada, you must also
provide an educational credential assessment (ECA) from a designated organization.

Page 7 of 22
Your ECA must
• be for immigration purposes;
• be less than 5 years old at the time of application to IRCC;
• show the Canadian equivalency of your foreign credential; and
• indicate that your learning institution is recognized.

6. Intent to reside and economic establishment in NB

You intend and have the ability to live and work in New Brunswick permanently. Your
connection to New Brunswick as well as ties to other jurisdictions in Canada will be taken
into consideration.

7. Proof of funds
You must meet the federal proof of funds requirements for Express Entry. You cannot
borrow this money. The amount of money you will need depends on the size of your family.

You may be exempt from this requirement if one of the following applies:
• You meet the requirements of the Canadian Experience Class.
• You are authorized to work in Canada, and you have a valid job offer that meets an
established set of conditions. This exemption does not apply to you if you are
working on an open work permit.

8. Age
You must be between the ages of 19 and 55.

SELECTION FACTORS

Application process
1. FEDERAL EXPRESS ENTRY PROFILE
Create a federal Express Entry profile. If it is placed in the pool of eligible applicants, you will
receive an Express Entry profile number and a job seeker validation code. You need these
numbers to apply.

2. EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI)

If you receive a letter of interest from ImmigrationNB through your federal Express Entry
profile, please visit the INB portal (www.inb.gnb.ca) to create an account and submit your
expression of interest (EOI). Submitting an EOI is free of charge.

You have 45 days from the date you received of the letter of interest to
submit your EOI through the INB portal. An EOI that is supported by a letter
of interest that is older than 45 days will not be considered.

Before submitting an EOI, make sure that you

• meet all eligibility requirements; and
• have all of your documents ready.

Your federal Express Entry profile must be valid at the time of your
provincial nomination. We recommend that it should be valid for at least 6
months when you submit your expression of interest to ImmigrationNB.

3. PROVINCIAL NOMINATION APPLICATION

If you receive an invitation to apply (ITA), you will have 45 calendar days to submit a
complete application to ImmigrationNB and pay the processing fee through the INB portal.
If you do not do so before the deadline, you will have to submit a new EOI. There is no
guarantee that the new EOI will be chosen.

Receiving an ITA does not guarantee a nomination. You are responsible for
ensuring that you meet all eligibility requirements before applying.

Page 14 of 22
In the application, you will provide more details about yourself (and about your spouse or
common-law partner and any dependent child, if applicable), as well as required supporting
documents.

The stream cannot be changed once you have applied. Additionally, you can
have only one active application with ImmigrationNB at any given moment.
If you have many active applications, you will be asked to choose one and
withdraw the rest. The processing fee paid will not be refunded.

4. ASSESSMENT
ImmigrationNB first checks to see if you have submitted a complete application, meaning
that you have provided all of the documents and information necessary. If your application
has been deemed complete, we will then assess it against the criteria outlined in this guide.

In some cases, you may be asked to provide more documents, or attend an interview, or
receive a phone call from an officer to discuss your application.

You can withdraw your application.

You can voluntarily withdraw your application at any time unless there is a concern
surrounding the possibility of misrepresentation.

You may receive a procedural fairness letter (PFL).

If ImmigrationNB is concerned that you may not meet all the requirements for nomination,
you will receive a PFL through the INB portal. This document will explain the concerns that
have arisen or request further information. You must respond to the PFL by the deadline
given. ImmigrationNB will re-assess your application after this deadline and make a final
decision based on the information and supporting documents you have uploaded to the INB
portal before this deadline.

5. PROVINCIAL DECISION
You may be nominated.
If you meet all the requirements for nomination, you may receive a nomination certificate
through the INB portal. This is the only way a certificate is issued. This certificate expires 6
months from the date it was issued. You must apply for permanent residence with
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) before its expiry date. You must
maintain the conditions of your nomination while you are awaiting a decision on your
permanent residence application.

Page 15 of 22
Consult the Post-Nomination Guide for further instructions on what you will need to do once
you are nominated by ImmigrationNB.

You may be refused.

If you cannot satisfy ImmigrationNB that you meet all the requirements for nomination, your
application will be refused. You will receive a refusal letter through the INB portal.

6. FEDERAL PERMANENT RESIDENCE APPLICATION

After you accept our nomination in IRCC’s Express Entry online system, you will receive 600
additional points, and IRCC may invite you to apply for permanent residence in the next
round. You are responsible for your own permanent residence application. You and all of
your family members must meet all of IRCC’s requirements, including medical, security, and
criminal checks.

7. DECISION FROM IRCC

IRCC has the final say on your permanent residence application. There is no guarantee that
IRCC will approve it, even if you are nominated by ImmigrationNB.

8. LANDING
Within 30 days of receiving your signed copy of the Confirmation of Permanent Resident
document, log in to INB. Go to your application and click on “Report PR Landing”. Complete
the form as prompted.
