These include access to a pre-screened and qualified pool of candidates, a more streamlined immigration process, and access to language training to support workers who may not be proficient in English or French.
In order to be eligible for the New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot Program, employers must meet certain criteria. These include having an approved business plan, providing proof of registration in New Brunswick, and demonstrating a commitment to training and development for their foreign workers.
