New Brunswick PNP.
Two paths into the Maritimes.
New Brunswick nominates skilled workers and entrepreneurs through NBPNP streams and runs frequent draws. It also participates in the federal Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), an employer-driven route open to candidates with a qualifying job offer from a designated NB employer.
