This immigration pilot program has been launched in collaboration between Opportunities NB and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The initiative has been introduced based on the priorities set by business groups and organizations in the province.
An alliance of business groups and organizations called on the federal government to allocate more space to immigrants in order to reach a target of 10,000 immigrants by 2024, with 30% preferably French speaking; also to speed up the entire immigration process for international students specially.
As per Canadian media, the New Brunswick province welcomed a record 6,000 Canada PR visa holders in 2019. By 2020, that number had dropped to 2,740 and between January and June 2021, there were 1,470 new permanent resident arrivals. This drop in the number of permanent residents is due to the travel restrictions that have been put in place due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and processing delays by IRCC.
