Starting April 1, 2022, international students who graduate from one of four long-standing New Brunswick private career colleges, and who have studied in one of 19 identified occupations, will be
able to apply to the Provincial Nominee Program, allowing them to work and live in the province while they wait for permanent residency.
The participating institutions are:
Atlantic Business College;
Eastern College;
McKenzie College; and
Oulton College.
N.B: They are private colleges, so you cannot work immediately after school, but you can apply for permanent resident immediately after school using PNP.
“We are excited that we can help retain more international students by opening up an innovative pathway that is made for New Brunswick,” said Arlene Dunn, the minister responsible for Opportunities NB.
“With the increased competition for skilled labour, the potential to transition international students into permanent residents is crucial.”

Many of you have sent dms to me asking for scholarship info. Let me make some general statements about Scholarship Applications.
1. When you see people post success stories about scholarships and admissions, know that they have been
through many failures. One success is just enough to cancel I million failures. So, it's important that you ask them about their journey, more importantly about their failures.
2. Don't expect that you must be successful in every scholarship application. Personally, my failures in this scholarship journey are more than successes. Scholarship is not meant for the most intelligent. It is for the resilient, dogged, and smart. So, be prepared to fail.
