New Brunswick
New Brunswick makes up one of Canada's three Eastern coastal provinces. Its coastline is quite long, where most of its cities are close to the shore. Moncton is New Brunswick's most populated city and Fredericton is its capital city. New Brunswick is one of Canada's bilingual provinces, with over 1/3 of the population speaking French. This makes it one of Canada's most culturally diverse areas. Many attractions exist there. The province's fishing villages have been setup for a long time. Also, its coastline has historically had tidal waves, creating some of the most beautiful caves in Canada, one being St. Martin's Sea Caves. It's an excellent spot for travelers who want to explore the province's marine beauty!
New Brunswick has an economy heavily influenced by its coastal location. Its main sectors include retail, manufacturing, forestry, fisheries, and mining. Fisheries there involve hunting freshwater and saltwater seafood, with primary products including queen crab and lobster. Its coal mining businesses account for most of New Brunswick's mining activities. Its service sector heavily employs retail labor, especially for freight positions, cashiers, sales management, and sales representatives.
New Brunswick runs migration programs for all industries. Moderate experience is required, though the programs fit students studying locally. Due to the province being bilingual, New Brunswick has a program for French speakers too. It requires all applicants to hit a specific application score, though they don't rank. The province is also working in tandem with Canada's federal government on the pilot immigration program, which is designed for skilled and unskilled workers alike. Global students who spent time in the province may also qualify. Finally, New Brunswick’s investment migration program isn't like those of others in Canada. It expects high investment levels, though investments come with good returns. In exchange, investors and their families have an easier time moving and acquiring permanent residency in Canada, as their investment plan is being implemented.
