New Brunswick Needs Immigrants, Increasing Population

New Brunswick Needs Immigrants

The province of New Brunswick announced that they will be aiming to increase their populations by attracting and accepting more immigrants than ever. New Brunswick announced that they will be tripling the number of immigrants in the province by 2024. The five-year provincial government population growth strategy and action plan were released recently.

What Type of Immigrants are New Brunswick Looking For

The main goal is bringing the annual immigration intake to about one percent of the province’s population. In addition to just increasing the immigration population, New Brunswick wants to retain the immigration population by keeping a one-year retention rate of 85% by 2024. Another big demographic of immigrants that New Brunswick is looking for is french-speaking immigrants. If you are a French speaker you will have a greater chance of getting accepted to the province. The Progressive Conservative government says its goal is to attract skilled workers and entrepreneurs to align with New Brunswick’s labor market needs while creating an environment in which newcomers can settle and succeed.

  1. French Speaking immigrants
  2. Skilled Workers
  3. Entrepreneurs

Increasing the immigration population in New Brunswick is crucial to the province’s success. “The attraction and retention of new Canadians are critical to helping us increase our province’s population and meet the needs of our employers,” Labour Minister Trevor Holder says.

Job Openings in New Brunswick for Foreign Nationals

From 2018 to 2027, New Brunswick is forecast to have about 120,000 job openings, and approximately 13,000 of those will require workers from outside the province because not all of the jobs can be filled by local labor. Immigrants will be crucial to fill these jobs in New Brunswick.

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
