    The New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot Program is a five-year pilot program that addresses critical labour shortages in various sectors and across different regions in the province. The pilot program was created to attract skilled workers to occupations that have been, and will continue to be, difficult to fill in New Brunswick in the years to come.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

The route is employer-driven and based on targeted recruitment: the candidate's application is made through the participating employer, and the programme does not accept direct applications from candidates.

    The New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot is an employer-driven stream, based on targeted recruitment for skilled workers and therefore candidate applications to the pilot program are made through the participating employer. The program does not accept direct applications from interested candidates.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the decisive professional requirements of this route.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the work allowed, any tie to employer or sector and family accompaniment.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

A nominee must apply directly to IRCC for permanent residence; the nomination certificate is valid for six months from issuance and counts as valid if a complete permanent residence application is filed before it expires. The official source does not state a work-permit length or renewal rule.

Limits of the record
  • The six months is the validity of the nomination certificate, not of a work permit; the page states no work-permit length and no renewal rule.
  • IRCC, not New Brunswick, decides the permanent residence application.
  • chars 8111-8622
    If you are granted a nomination by the Government of New Brunswick, you are required to apply directly to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for Permanent Residence (PR). Remember, you must maintain the conditions of your nomination while you are awaiting a decision on your PR application. The nomination certificate will be valid for six months from the date of issuance and is considered valid if you submit a complete application for PR before the expiry date on the nomination certificate.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
