Question 1

Do I need a New Brunswick job offer to qualify?

Accepted Answer

For the Skilled Worker and Employer-Driven streams, yes — a full-time, permanent job offer from a New Brunswick employer is the core requirement. The Express Entry Labour Market stream and French-Speaking Skilled Worker stream can work without one, through Expression of Interest draws or targeted recruitment events, though a job offer still strengthens either.

Question 2

Does New Brunswick's PNP use a numeric points grid?

Accepted Answer

No. New Brunswick's PNP does not publish a public numeric points grid for its main streams. Candidates are assessed against each stream's specific requirements, which is why this tool gives a plain-language fit screen rather than a score.

Question 3

How much does French proficiency matter?

Accepted Answer

It matters significantly for the French-Speaking Skilled Worker stream and New Brunswick's francophone recruitment events (such as Destination Canada Mobilité Francophone), which specifically target NCLC 7+ speakers. For the other streams, English or French at CLB/NCLC 4+ generally meets the baseline requirement.
