*Note: Remote work is accepted, but the employer must be based in New Brunswick, and the applicant must currently live in the province for at least 12 months prior to applying.*

2. Demonstrated track record of international worker immigration in the past three years

3. Completion of a New Brunswick Human Resource Support Services (HRSS) assessment

4. Adherence to all reporting requirements during the pilot program

5. Compliance with provincial and federal immigration programs and employment standards

Critical Worker Pilot Program Application Process

The application process involves two key steps, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for both employers and applicants.

1. Applying for a Nomination Certificate:

Ready to take the next step? You’re eligible to apply for a Nomination Certificate if you meet all the criteria and selection requirements. Don’t forget to secure the backing of an employer in New Brunswick who’s filled out and signed the Employer Information Form (NBPNP-004). Keep in mind, processing times may vary based on the number of applications received, and you might even find yourself attending a few interviews along the way.

2. Applying for a T13 Work Permit and PR Visa with Citizenship and Immigration Canada:

Once you have that New Brunswick nomination, it’s time to dive into the next stages. You’ll need to submit an application for a work permit directly with the Canadian government. Simultaneously, for that coveted permanent residency, you’ll be applying for a PR visa through the Canadian IRCC with Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

Remember, meeting the legal requirements for medical, security, and criminal entry clearance is crucial for you, your spouse, and dependents. It’s worth noting that there’s no guarantee of approval for your PR application, as the final authority rests with the IRCC. So, buckle up for the journey ahead!
