This November, immigration officers and employers from the Canadian province of New Brunswick will hold two job fairs and an information session in the Ukrainian capital. Registration is open!
In November 2019, New Brunswick scheduled two job fairs and an information session in Kyiv:
- November 20, 2019: an information session
- November 21 and 22: job fairs
Information Session: November 20
At the information session, immigration officers will make presentations of the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP), which has been created only for people who intend to live in this province.
To take part in the information session, the candidate must have experience over the past 5 years in one of the following sectors:
- Healthcare
- Manufacturing and skilled trades (usually requires manual skills and special training in the construction, industrial production, agriculture, mining or heavy machinery sectors)
- Customer services
- Tourism, hospitality, and food and beverage services
- Early childhood education
- Information Technology (IT)
Job Fairs: November 21 and 22
Job fairs attendees will be able to ask immigration officers about settling in New Brunswick and have a chance to get a job offer from a New Brunswick employer. And having a job offer is the key requirement to apply for permanent residency under the Atlantic Immigration Pilot or the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program.
The event will include two stages:
- Immigration officers will provide job fair participants with information about life in New Brunswick.
- After that, scheduled interviews with employers will take place.
The job fairs in Kyiv will be attended by New Brunswick employers who are looking for specialists with work experience in the following occupations:
- NOC 7511 Transport truck drivers
- NOC 9614 Labourers in wood, pulp and paper processing
You can register for a job fair only if you have work experience in these occupations in the past 5 years. The province may add or remove occupations from the list.
Requirements for Participation in a Job Fair
To be able to attend a job fair, you will need to have the following documents:
- Language test results (IELTS, TEF or TCF with a minimum Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) score of 4.0). If you have not yet received results in paper form, you can submit printed electronic test results. If you have not yet taken the test, you can still register, but you will have to explain to the immigration officer and employer that you are going to take the test in the near future.
- Proof of work experience (a reference letter from an employer (preferably with information about salary), tax documents, payroll records). Work experience should be at least 1 year (truck drivers often require 18 months of experience) of full-time (at least 30 hours per week) paid work.
- Education credentials (a certificate, diploma or degree).
- CV in English — you need to demonstrate that you meet the requirements of the occupation.
If you have all the documents listed above ready, it will raise your chances to be invited for a job interview and get a job offer. Since there is no definitive list of documents, you can take any others if you think that they will improve your chances.
For future immigration to New Brunswick, you will also need:
- ECA (Educational Credential Assessment) report. If you have not yet received a report in paper form, you can print an electronic version for a job fair. If you have not ordered a report, do it as soon as possible. You can register for the fair without a report, but you will have to order it anyway.
- Sufficient funds to settle in the province.
