New Brunswick will now allow 4,250 new immigrants this year to help fill job openings in important sectors like healthcare, schools, and construction.
New Brunswick is taking big steps to fix its labour shortage. The province has secured 4,250 permanent resident nominations from the federal government. This is a major increase—1,500 more than what was announced earlier this year. In fact, NB’s new quota is even 250 more than British Columbia’s for 2025.
New Brunswick wants to fill jobs in three main areas: healthcare, education, and construction.
Healthcare:
There’s a huge demand for doctors, nurses, and healthcare staff. The province needs more workers to help care for an aging population. With this new plan, skilled health workers from other countries will have a better chance of getting permanent residency.
Education:
Schools are facing shortages of teachers and support staff. By welcoming qualified educators from around the world, New Brunswick hopes to improve its schools and give students a better future.
Construction:
There are many ongoing building projects across the province. New Brunswick is looking for tradespeople like electricians, plumbers, and carpenters to help keep those projects moving.
As part of the deal with the federal government, New Brunswick will take in 400 asylum claimants over the next two years. To support this, the federal government will provide $14.1 million in funding. This money will help cover housing and other settlement services.
The goal is to help these newcomers quickly find jobs and feel part of their new communities. Meetings with the claimants will begin soon to discuss where they can work and what support they need.
Federal Minister Lena Metlege Diab said this will lead to a more organized and effective way to help people settle in Canada.
Business leaders across New Brunswick are happy with the new immigration plan. Many industries are facing serious labour shortages. Small business owners say that finding skilled workers is their biggest challenge right now.
One leader from a major business group said, “Every opportunity needs to be seized to match skilled workers to jobs.”
Large companies, like those in farming and manufacturing, have also welcomed the news. They believe this move will help them grow and stay competitive.
The province is not just bringing in workers. It’s also making sure they succeed. Newcomers will get help with finding jobs, housing, and language training. The government will work with employers to match the right people to the right jobs.
The goal is to make settling in New Brunswick smooth and stress-free for new residents.
By increasing immigration, New Brunswick is aiming for strong economic growth. More skilled workers mean more productivity. Small businesses will be able to grow. And more people living in the province means a more diverse and creative society.
Experts believe this move will help the province stay stable and grow over time. It could also attract more investment in the future.
In the coming weeks, New Brunswick officials will meet with newcomers, including asylum seekers. They’ll talk about job openings and how to settle in the province. The province will also continue working with employers to make sure immigration efforts stay on track.
This new plan could help shape a brighter future for New Brunswick.
