New Brunswick has recently held consecutive immigration draws, signalling strong, consistent demand for skilled workers across the province. These back-to-back invitations reflect a more proactive approach to candidate selection and to addressing workforce gaps in key sectors.
These draws highlight the province’s commitment to attracting global talent and supporting economic growth through targeted immigration programs, including the Atlantic Immigration Program.
With faster invitations and more opportunities, candidates now have a greater chance of selection than in traditional draws. For many applicants, this could be the right time to take advantage of these evolving pathways and move one step closer to securing permanent residence in Canada.
The latest New Brunswick PNP draw was held on May 01 to 03, 2026, issuing a total of 250 Invitations to Apply, including those for the New Brunswick Skilled Worker Stream and the Atlantic Immigration Program.
| Draw Date | Program | ITAs Issued | Pathways | Occupational Categories Selected |
| May 1, 2026 | Atlantic Immigration Program | 50 | N/A | Transportation, Manufacturing, Construction Trades |
| May 1, 2026 | New Brunswick Skilled Worker Stream | 87 | New Brunswick Experience, New Brunswick Graduates | Healthcare |
| May 3, 2026 | New Brunswick Skilled Worker Stream | 113 | New Brunswick Experience, New Brunswick Graduates | All sectors |
The application process under the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program begins with submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the official INB portal. Once submitted, your profile enters the candidate pool and remains valid for up to 365 days, giving you multiple chances to be selected.
The province regularly reviews EOIs based on labour market demand, available nomination quotas, and priority occupations. Candidates with profiles that align closely with New Brunswick’s workforce needs are more likely to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
After receiving an invitation, you must submit a complete application within the given deadline, ensuring all documents and eligibility requirements are met.
It is important to understand that meeting eligibility criteria does not guarantee selection, as invitations are competitive and based on provincial priorities.
Similarly, receiving an ITA does not guarantee nomination, as final approval depends on a thorough assessment of the application. A strong profile aligned with in-demand jobs can significantly improve your chances of immigrating to Canada.
