  2. Invitation to Apply (ITA): The NB PNP issues an ITA to candidates who are selected from the EOI pool based on their ranking score.
  3. Application submission: Candidates who receive an ITA submit a complete application package, which includes all required documents and information.
  4. Admissibility assessment: The NB PNP conducts an admissibility assessment to determine whether the candidate meets the program's requirements.
  5. Nomination: If the candidate is deemed admissible, the NB PNP nominates them for permanent residence.
  6. Federal processing: The candidate's application is then processed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for final approval.

The processing times for the NB PNP can vary depending on the stream and the complexity of the application. However, the program typically takes around 6-12 months to process from the date of application submission.
