New Brunswick

A distinct way of life

Located on Canada’s east coast along the Atlantic Ocean, New Brunswick is a seaside province that offers a distinct way of life and career choices for skilled workers, entrepreneurs and international students. Bordering the United States, New Brunswick’s unique social and political history has made it Canada’s only officially bilingual province, with English and French enjoying equal status. Every year, the province warmly welcomes newcomers who choose to start a new life or study in New Brunswick.

Newcomers from more than 50 countries have come to New Brunswick because of the opportunities, but they have chosen to stay because of our friendly people who value community, family life and traditions. Multicultural associations across New Brunswick give immigrants an opportunity to exchange experiences, share their cultures and make friends.
