New Brunswick will soon start issuing invitations to apply to candidates in the Express Entry pool who would be able to meet the specific labour market requirements of the province. It is not mandatory for these candidates to have submitted their Expression of Interest with the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP)to be invited.
According to an update issued by the NBPNP, it “will, on occasion, invite candidates directly from the federal Express Entry pool in response to provincial labour-market needs.” The Express Entry candidates who are invited by NBPNP can apply for provincial nomination from New Brunswick. If nominated, they would receive an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)score points that would effectively guarantee them an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the subsequent Express Entry draw.
However, in order to be invited by New Brunswick, the candidates will have to meet the eligibility requirements stipulated under its Express Entry Labour Market Stream (EELMS). Besides the new approach, New Brunswick would also continue to invite candidates through Expression of Interest draws.
Most of the Canadian provincial nominee programs have at least one immigration stream linked to the federal Express Entry. Some of the popular Express Entry streams are Ontario’s Human Capital Priorities Stream, the Alberta Express Entry Stream and Nova Scotia’s Labour Market Priorities Stream. All these streams have been quite active throughout this year, inviting hundreds of candidates to apply for provincial nomination. The increased demand for candidates from the Express Entry pool reminds that creating an Express Entry profile would improve your chances for migrating to Canada.
