The Canadian Government has taken bold steps to address the pressing labour shortages in the province of New Brunswick by securing a significant increase in its immigration allocation by almost three times.
New Brunswick will now welcome 4,250 permanent resident nominations, a substantial jump of 1,500 from the earlier allocation set by the Canadian government in February.
The NB quota is 250 higher than the British Columbia’s provincial immigration for 2025.
The province aims to prioritize the health, education and construction sectors and will ensure that newcomers are matched with high-demand roles, creating a win-win scenario for both employers and immigrants.
It is instructive to note that construction is a cornerstone of NB’s economy, considering the ongoing projects which require skilled trades people such as carpenters, electricians, and plumbers.
NB is not just opening its doors to newcomers; it is also ensuring they have the support they need to thrive without delay.
