Good News for Renters: Prices are Dropping in Major Canadian Cities!
Discover how new trends in Canada’s rental market can benefit you as a newcomer!
Read moreImagine this: you’ve gone through the process of the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), you have your endorsement, and a job waiting for you in New Brunswick. But now, you're staring down a massive processing delay that’s leaving your work status hanging in the balance. You feel anxious, not knowing how you’ll support yourself or your family. But here's the exciting part: New Brunswick is stepping up with support!
Recently, the province announced that it will issue letters of support for AIP endorsees at risk of losing their work permits while waiting for permanent residency decisions. If your work permit is set to expire and your PR application is still in limbo, this letter can be a game changer, allowing you to continue working legally while you wait.
Here’s how it works: If you're an AIP endorsee and you need this letter, all you need to do is fill out the Post-Endorsement Request Form and submit it to Immigration New Brunswick. This letter supports your application for a C18 closed work permit, granting you peace of mind.
And get this: Since October 2025, processing times have skyrocketed from about 13 months to a daunting 37 months. This means many of you are at risk if your work permits expire during this waiting period—leaving you without work authorization. But with New Brunswick’s new support measure, you can keep your job while awaiting your PR.
So, whether you're planning your life in Canada or adjusting to this new routine, remember: You are not alone in this journey. There are resources available for you, and these new measures are designed to give you hope and stability.
