Recent Changes to the NBPNP
In line with the province’s updated immigration priorities, New Brunswick has introduced several changes to its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) to better address workforce demands. The province’s 2025 immigration allocation has been reduced to 2,750 spots, prompting these adjustments.
Some key changes include:
New Pathways:
Employment in New Brunswick Pathway: For candidates with a job offer from a New Brunswick-based employer.
New Brunswick Interests Pathway: Aimed at attracting candidates whose skills are in line with the province’s economic priorities.
Eligibility Criteria Updates:
The minimum age requirement has been lowered from 22 to 19.
To qualify for the Employment in New Brunswick pathway, applicants must now have lived in the province for at least 12 consecutive months.
A work experience requirement of 12 consecutive months is now necessary for specific pathways.
These changes are intended to help New Brunswick fill its labor gaps while encouraging candidates who can contribute to the province’s economic growth.

Canada’s Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, recently announced the target for admitting 2,750 new home care workers through its new immigration program, the Home Care Worker Immigration Pilot (HCWP). Out of the 2,750 spots, 150 will be set aside for workers who are currently without legal status in Canada. This program aims to assist foreign home care workers in obtaining permanent residency in Canada.
Two Key Streams of the Program
There are two main categories for applying:
Workers Already in Canada: This stream is for foreign home care workers who are already in Canada. Applications for this group will open on March 31, 2025. Workers must have a full-time job offer from a private household or an eligible organization in Canada (excluding Quebec).
Workers Applying from Outside Canada: This stream is for workers who are outside Canada but want to apply for permanent residency. The exact date for this stream to open has not been announced.
Requirements to Apply
To be eligible for this program, applicants need to meet these basic criteria:
Work Experience or Training: Applicants must have at least six months of recent experience working as a home care worker, or they must have completed six months of training related to home care.
Language Skills: Applicants must prove their ability to speak either English or French by meeting a minimum level of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 4.
Job Offer: A full-time job offer from a private household or an eligible organization is required. Organizations eligible to hire include home health care service providers and direct care agencies. Job offers from recruitment agencies or placement firms are not accepted.
Education: Applicants must have at least a secondary school diploma or equivalent.
Residency Intent: Applicants must intend to live in a Canadian province other than Quebec.
Special Pathway for Workers Without Legal Status
The HCWP also gives an opportunity for home care workers who are currently in Canada without legal status. A limited number of spots are available for these workers to regain legal status and apply for permanent residency.
The Future of the Program
Immigration Minister Marc Miller has expressed hope that the success of this program could lead to it becoming a permanent option for home care workers in Canada. This program is seen as an important step to regularize the status of workers who provide vital care services.

On March 6, 2025, IRCC sent out 4,500 invitations to apply for permanent residency in a French Language Focused Express Entry Draw. Candidates eligible for this draw were those who demonstrated French language proficiency by achieving a minimum score of 7 in all four language abilities on the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) scale.
This is the second draw in the month of March, prior to this draw, a Provincial Nominee Program category based draw was held on the 3rd of March were 725 candidates were invited to apply for PR.

Number of Invitations: 4,500
Lowest CRS Score Invited: 410
Rank Required: 4,500 or higher
Tie-Breaking Rule: February 11, 2025
This draw aligns with Canada’s strategic focus on enhancing Francophone immigration outside of Quebec. The IRCC has set targets to welcome 26,100 French-speaking permanent residents in 2024, with numbers increasing to 31,500 in 2025 and 36,000 by 2026.
The relatively low CRS cut-off score of 410 in this draw suggests a competitive advantage for candidates with strong French language skills. Notably, this score is lower than those in previous draws, indicating a potential shift in IRCC’s selection priorities.

Canada’s Express Entry system helps skilled workers from around the world immigrate to Canada. In 2025, Express Entry continues to offer a fast and efficient way to apply for permanent residency through three main programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class.

Express Entry categories are determined based on Canada’s labor market needs and immigration priorities. The government evaluates various factors such as the demand for specific occupations, the country’s economic growth, and demographic trends. Categories are updated periodically to align with these needs, ensuring that skilled professionals fill critical roles in Canada’s workforce.
This system helps ensure that the right individuals are selected to contribute to the Canadian economy, while also supporting the country’s social and economic development. Regular adjustments to these categories allow for flexibility in responding to emerging trends and challenges.
