Candidates with skills, education, and experience in in-demand sectors are needed. In the future, they will have a chance to get permanent residency under the New Brunswick Express Entry stream's In-Demand Occupation Connection category.

Fair dates:

• September 12 and 13 — Casablanca, Morocco;

New Brunswick invites professionals in the following sectors to participate:

• legislative and senior management occupations;
• business, finance, and administration occupations;
• natural and applied sciences and related occupations;
• health occupations;
• education, law and social, community and government services occupations;
• art, culture, recreation, and sport occupations;

The complete list of occupations in each field can be viewed on the official website of New Brunswick. Candidates must have 1 year or more of work experience and a Canadian-format CV.

Registration

Registration for events takes place on the provincial website. You have to fill out an application form, after which the New Brunswick commission will review it and, if you are eligible, will send you an invitation with the exact time and place of the fair.

Certain factors will increase your chances of being invited:

• language test results ready;
• educational credentials assessment ready;
• relatives in New Brunswick;
• no relatives in other Canadian regions.

You can also add your spouse or partner to your job fair application if they also have an in-demand occupation from the list.
