In order to recruit individuals with specific skill sets directly, employers from New Brunswick will be screened for one of NBPNP streams. Therefore, to increase your chances to be accepted for a job, it is recommended that you attend to the job fair with your CV and proof of education and language results, like the ECA (Education Credential Assessment) and IELTS General Training Test Report, if available. Also, candidates should be prepared for possible interviews after the information sessions.

There will be three interview stations, with employers (HR Managers) interviewing people for the jobs available in their companies. It will also have government officials making presentations on life and immigration formalities. In addition, NB officials will be creating an inventory of workers through the sessions. This means that the candidates that might not be able to meet with an employer or receive a job offer, will be included in NB system and potentially invited to a future session in 2018.
