1. SCHOOLS
New Brunswick's universities are among the oldest in Canada. These institutions along with the colleges in the region offer high standards and quality of education with some of the lowest tuition fees in the country.
They possess strong links to research and the private industry, and develop their programs working closely with them, allowing most of their graduates to find jobs within the same province after graduation.
You will also find small class sizes and great opportunities to work on or off-campus.
2. EMPLOYMENT
According to NBjobs.ca, even during the COVID pandemic New Brunswick job market is growing.
There were 4,522 online ads for jobs in New Brunswick in March 2021. This was higher than the same month last year (3,478). 60% of all these jobs were located in greater Fredericton, Moncton or Saint John.
3. IMMIGRATION
