Immigrate
An evening with the Business Immigrant Mentorship Program of Enterprise Saint John
Moving to another country is never simple and easy but Canada has a lot of experience with it. Find out how to get here fast or keep reading to find out how to move here for good!
You can immigrate to Canada and find a home with us here in the Think City through New Brunswick’s Provincial Nominee Program or by following the path laid out by Canada’s Federal Government.
People Help You in New Brunswick
We’re not a multi-million person hub so we have better access to each other here. While in other parts of the country application forms and online processes are the interface for immigrants with our country, In New Brunswick, employers and foreign workers talk to real people in our provincial and federal agencies to help make the move to our country.
That makes a big difference and often speeds the process for people eager to join our new country and build a new life in our Think City.
Visit Before You Move
But before you decide to move here, maybe you’d like to visit first? Depending on the country you are currently a citizen of, you might need a visa to get into the country. Find out if your country is one of them. It’s also easy to find out how to apply for a visa and what is involved. We’d love to have you visit and our Think City Ambassadors would be happy to let you into their world while you’re here so you can find out if our Think City should be your city.
You may even be able to work while you visit by obtaining a work permit.

There are a lot of people ready to help you move to Saint John and to become a Canadian Citizen. Canada is a young nation so many of us can relate to the experience of moving here.
