The New Brunswick Express Entry Labor Market Stream was reopened on November 28 after a temporary closure in September this year. The stream is now accepting Expressions of Interests from eligible candidates. Through the stream, New Brunswick selects candidates who meet the requirements of the province from the federal Express Entry pool to nominate for permanent residence in Canada. The candidates who obtain provincial nomination from New Brunswick will receive 600 additional CRS points which guarantee them an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the subsequent Express Entry draw.
