New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot (NBCWP)

The new pilot offers more flexibility by allowing participating employers to provide skills and language training along with the guidance and support to the new immigrants they bring into the New Brunswick.

New Brunswick has a positive record of accomplishments with immigration-related pilot programs; hence, participating employers will get significant advantage from filling critical vacancies and candidates will find important work in a welcoming community.

Speaking about this new pilot, minister for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Sean Fraser said, “Immigration is not only good for our communities, it is essential. Newcomers play a key role in Atlantic Canadian communities, and in helping businesses succeed,” said federal Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Sean Fraser.

He further added, “New Brunswick’s Critical Worker Pilot is an innovative approach that will help employers across New Brunswick meet their specific labour market needs.”
