New Brunswick’s 2025 Allocation & Remaining Seats
According to IRCC’s 2025 distribution, New Brunswick received approximately 3,900 total nominations under its Provincial Nominee Program and Atlantic Immigration Program combined. With 522 invitations in October and about 3,600 cumulative invitations issued since January, QuestJobs estimates the province still has roughly 250–300 seats remaining for PNP nominations in 2025. While not all invited applications are processed within the same year, these numbers show New Brunswick is nearing its allocation cap ahead of schedule. Hence, it is utterly important for all immigrants wanting to land an ITA from NB PNP to take the job search seriously. It is equally important to not waste time and effort on jobs that do not and can not lead to permanent residency. These are the main reasons that QuestJobs was built. To help every newcomer and every immigrant to land a PR job, fast.
QuestJobs currently lists over 34,000 PR-eligible jobs across Canada, including more than 2,000 NB PNP eligible jobs. Our AI-driven matching engine identifies employers with provincial nomination potential, ensuring you apply where sponsorship is most likely.
To explore current opportunities under the New Brunswick PNP, start by creating a QuestJobs trial account to access PR-eligible job listings. Once inside the portal, filter by program stream — such as NB PNP Skilled Worker or the Atlantic Immigration Program — to narrow your search. Align your profile with the province’s priority occupations, particularly in health care, education, and construction, to increase your chances of selection. From there, connect directly with employers who are actively nominating under the NB PNP. Finally, make it a habit to stay updated on the latest invitation rounds, as New Brunswick often issues late-year draws to use its remaining nomination allocation.
