NB PNP launches New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot Program on Nov 07 2022

New Brunswick and the Canadian federal government under the NB PNP launches New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot Program on Nov 07 2022. The NBCWP is a 5 years pilot program. And aims to help international skilled workers who want to settle permanently in the province. This program will help NB to grow its economy and meet labour market needs. Also, the newcomers can settle hassle-free in Canada. To do the same, NBCWP is offering skills and language training.

The province makes such a move to meet its rising critical labour shortage. Thus, NB and the government decided to not let lower language skills be a problem for foreign workers to get a Canada Work Permit.

As a result, the province is taking it upon itself to give skills and language training to applicants who arrive and commit to working in the province. Through the new program, the province will offer Canada work permits to foreign skilled workers. And also help them get permanent residency in Canada.

To accomplish the new aim NBCWP will work with 6 selected Canadian employers. They have been screened and selected as per their past successful performance under the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBNP). They have already proved their mettle by displaying the best recruitment and settlement practices in the past.

The list of the 6 employers is as follows:

1. Cooke Aquaculture
2. Groupe Savoie
3. Groupe Westco
4. Imperial Manufacturing Group (IMG)
5. JDI – J.D Irving Ltd.
6. McCain Foods Ltd.

What are the roles and responsibilities of the 6 selected Canadian employers under the NBCWP?

NB PNP launches New Brunswick Critical Worker Pilot Program on Nov 07 2022. And the 6 participating Canadian employers will have to perform tasks such as:

• Firstly, with a goal of longer-term retention, have strong and effective settlement plans. The international workers coming in must have access to quality housing and transportation facilities. This is to help them settle effortlessly in new job profiles and NB communities.
• Secondly, must have a sustainable plan for the recruitment of foreign skilled workers. Also, have resources to offer on-the-job training to new foreign recruits.
• Besides, help them to raise their academic level by getting Canadian secondary education.
• Further, give 200 hours of language training as and when applicable.

Besides, to ensure the NBCWP meets labour market and economic needs, this program will be duly monitored and regulated by New Brunswick. Commenting on the same lines, the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, Economic Development and Small Business, Opportunities NB, and Immigration stated that:

“Canadian employers participating in NBCWP will gain prominently from the new program.

Also, international workers will find meaningful work life in the NB community”. – Honourable Arlene Dunn
