Jobs in New Brunswick (NB) that are most in demand for immigrants | Moving to Canada

New Brunswick is the only province in Canada that is officially bilingual, so people from all over the world who speak English or French move there. It is also home to a number of Indigenous groups, which makes it a truly diverse and multicultural place.

If you want to live in New Brunswick, the province has a program called the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP) that lets them invite newcomers with the skills and experience they need.

This resource tells you about the job market in New Brunswick, including the province’s key industries, in-demand jobs for newcomers, NOC codes, and estimates of the median wage, so that you can be ready to start your career in Canada when you get there.

As you plan to move to Canada, it’s a big decision to choose which province you want to live in. Even though the job market is important, you should also learn about the local culture, the major cities in each province, the languages spoken, and the cost of living in the area.
