Express Entry Labour Market Stream

The Express Entry Labour Market Stream (EELMS) is one of the mainstream programs being run under the New Brunswick PNP, operated by the New Brunswick Province. EELMS is specially designed to focus on highly skilled foreign workers who can actively contribute to the economy of New Brunswick.
