Who is included in my application? You
and your dependents must have passports or travel documents that are valid. If
any documents are soon to expire, you should renew them. Diplomatic, official,
service or public affairs passports cannot be used to immigrate to Canada. You
must have a valid regular or private passport when you arrive. The validity of
your visa may be affected by the validity of your passport. When
your application for immigration to Canada is being processed at a visa
office, a visa officer will review your application and decide if an interview
is necessary. If so, you will be informed of the time and place. Your spouse
and dependent children aged 18 or over will be asked to come with you. The
visa officer may ask you about your job, work experience, education, reasons
for migrating, plans and preparations. The officer may also ask about your
family, spouse and/or dependents or your health, financial situation or past
difficulties with the law. There may also be questions to determine your
ability to settle successfully in Canada. Your answers will help in the
assessment of your personal suitability, occupational expertise and
professional qualifications, and to evaluate your motivation, initiative,
adaptability, resourcefulness and overall ability to settle successfully in
Canada. However, you will not be required to attend an interview for the New
Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program application In
Canada, approximately 20 percent of occupations are regulated to protect the
health and safety of Canadians (e.g. nurses, engineers, teachers, and
electricians). People who want to work in regulated occupations need to obtain
a license from a provincial regulatory body. Licensing requirements often
include education from a recognized school, Canadian work experience and
completion of a technical exam. Fees for exams can be costly and are the
responsibility of the applicant. Final assessment by the provincial authority
can only be done after you are in Canada with permanent resident status. A person who is approved as a Provincial Nominee, his or her spouse and dependent children will need to have medical examinations. All adults will require a background check as well. Any related costs are the responsibility of the applicant. The medical examination and background check are requirements of Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Applicants approved for nomination by New Brunswick will receive further instructions regarding how and when to complete these tasks. DO
NOT HAVE A MEDICAL EXAMINATION FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES UNTIL YOU ARE
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. OTHERWISE, YOUR EXAM MAY EXPIRE, AND YOU WILL BE ASKED TO
HAVE IT DONE AGAIN. Yes.
If you or your spouse have a close relative in Canada, you can have a better
chance of qualifying for the Provincial Nominee Program. Your relative in New
Brunswick must be a permanent resident or Canadian citizen who is 19 years of
age or over. You must provide documentation to prove the relationship. If you are approved as a Provincial Nominee, you will have to pay a processing fee for yourself and each member of your family when your application for immigration is submitted to the Canadian Visa Office. Instructions will be provided to help you determine the amount and how to submit it. The processing fee is non-refundable, even if your application is refused. The fees to be paid to Canada will also include the Right of Landing Fee (ROLF). The ROLF is required of every adult aged 19 or over in your family but, unlike the processing fee, is refundable if an immigrant visa is refused or not used, or if you withdraw your application. The ROLF can be paid at any time during the application process, but must be paid before an immigration visa can be issued. You will also have to pay other fees such as those related to the medical examination and police clearance. DO
NOT INCLUDE PAYMENT FOR ANY OF THESE FEES WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION FOR
THE PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM. YOU WILL RECEIVE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT
SENDING FEES LATER. THERE ARE NO NEW BRUNSWICK PROCESSING FEES. The
government of Canada recommends that you have at least $10,000 (Canadian) plus
$2,000 (Canadian) per dependent. If you are a New Brunswick Provincial Nominee
business plan applicant, you will have to have sufficient funds to implement
the business plan and to sustain yourself and all your dependents. Processing times will vary. Certain things can delay processing of your application: incomplete or unsigned application forms, missing documents, insufficient postage, missing fees, unclear photocopies, documents not accompanied by a certified English or French translation, a medical condition which may require additional tests, involvement in criminal activity, family situations such as divorce, custody or maintenance issues, or failure to notify the visa office of a change of address. YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE PROCESSED FASTER IF YOU AVOID THESE PROBLEMS. For how long is my immigrant visa valid? Normally, immigrant visas are valid for 6 -11 months. from the date of issuance. The validity date is based upon the earlier of your or your dependents' passport validity date(s) or of the medical validity date. IMMIGRANT VISAS CANNOT BE EXTENDED ONCE ISSUED. IF APPLICANTS DO NOT USE THEM WITHIN THEIR VALIDITY THEY MUST REAPPLY FOR IMMIGRATION TO CANADA. NB PNP
