It is not necessary for the applicants to have an existing profile in the federal Express Entry system. But if they are nominated by New Brunswick, they will have to create a profile. The candidates have to score a minimum of 67 out of 100 points in the selection factors and meet eligibility criteria for the Federal Skilled Worker Class.
The last time the Express Entry Labour Market stream of New Brunswick was opened was in September 2017.
