Seven ITAs have been issued under the New Brunswick Employment Connection (EC) program, while 86 ITAs have been issued through the Express Entry Occupations In-Demand Connection (OIDC) program.

Details of New Brunswick’s new candidates to apply in Express Entry
There is a brief explanation of targeted programs for New Brunswick invitations for new candidates via Express Entry streams, and program eligibility requirements for applicants.
Candidates for the EC must meet the minimum work experience, educational, and language proficiency requirements and provide proof of sufficient funds. The minimum work requirement for that program is one year of full-time, paid work (1,560 total hours), or an equivalent number of part-time hours. The job type stated on the immigration application must reflect the work experience that must fall under one of the NOC TEER categories 0, 1, 2, or 3.
Every candidate submitting a form through that New Brunswick Express Entry stream must also acquire a passing score on an English or French language proficiency test given by an agency designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
A year of full-time paid work (a total of 1,560 hours), or an equal amount of part-time hours in occupations with NOC codes in the 0, 1, or 2 categories, is the minimum amount of work experience required by the OIDC.
Since this is an application for the New Brunswick Express Entry stream, it must also meet the language and educational requirements, and the applicant must demonstrate that those who plan to live in New Brunswick and have the means to do so.
No job offer is required to apply for a PGWP through the NB Student Connection program, but applicants must have finished their studies within the previous six months, live in the province, and be actively looking for employment.
Graduate students in thesis-based programs are eligible to apply once their academic research has been officially submitted for evaluation.

- diploma or certificate, or
- a letter of completion from the institution.
