Skilled Worker Stream
New Brunswick's core worker stream for people with a full-time, non-seasonal job offer from an eligible provincial employer, with pathways for workers already employed in the province, recent New Brunswick graduates, and candidates hired through government recruitment missions in priority occupations. Since May 4, 2026, new invitations under the New Brunswick Experience pathway are temporarily limited to health care, education and construction occupations, and since February 3, 2026 the province does not consider expressions of interest from candidates working in the accommodation and food services sector or in a list of retail and processing occupations.
