New Brunswick announces third consecutive job fair

The Province of New Brunswick will host an online job fair for truckers and their families. Immigration officers will talk about opportunities to move to the province, and local employers will be recruiting from among the session participants. Successful candidates will be able to find jobs in New Brunswick and apply for permanent residency.

Earlier this week, the province announced two more job fairs.

Requirements

Candidates must have at least 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time experience in the desired sector within the last 5 years. Only paid work is taken into account, volunteering and internships are not eligible. Candidate's spouse can also take part in the session, regardless of profession.

Filing

Candidates who qualify are invited to register on the online portal. There you need to fill in an application form and attach a number of documents in JPG or PDF format:

• valid passport page with photo — obligatory;
• a visa proving legal residence — obligatory if you are not residing in your home country;
• report on certification of diploma of education — if available;
• results of language test — if available;
• a resume is a must;
• Spouse's or spouse's curriculum vitae — optional.

The questionnaire consists of 4 pages. Important: be careful when filling in, because if you make a mistake, you will not be able to return to the previous page. Registration does not guarantee that you will participate in the information session.

The following information will be required on the application form:

• level and field of education;
• country of citizenship and current residence:
• passport details;
• age;
• English and French levels (based on test results or personal assessment);
• the amount of funds in the accounts;
• presence of children;
• having relatives in New Brunswick and other Canadian provinces;

• having a profile in the system Express Entry (only for poultry workers);
• having a profile on the immigration portal of New Brunswick;
• data on the spouse;
• ability to communicate in social networks and messengers.

What's next?

The New Brunswick Commission will review applications and contact candidates who are interested. They will be informed of the exact date and time of the information session. Only candidates selected by the Commission will be allowed to participate. Participants who are interested in the province or employers will then have the opportunity to immigrate to New Brunswick through one of the provincial programs or the Atlantic program.
