New Brunswick announces new immigration pilot for critical workers
In collaboration with the federal government, New Brunswick will launch a pilot project to address labour shortages.
Yesterday, the New Brunswick Provincial Government announced a brand new immigration pilot project: the New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot (NBCWP).
The pilot (a joint federal-provincial project) aims to address critical worker shortages in New Brunswick.
The pilot is unique in that it will not only provide economic immigration to the province, but it will also provide settlement services (including skills and language training) to newcomers who arrive as a result of the project.
"Participating employers will greatly benefit from filling critical vacancies, and applicants will find meaningful work in a welcoming community," says Arlene Dunn, the minister responsible for Immigration and Opportunities New Brunswick.
Along with addressing critical labour shortages, New Brunswick is concerned with retaining newcomers, and recognizes that meaningful work is a key factor in doing so; this pilot is a first step towards addressing both issues.
