It depends on the province and type of businesses, like small business will take more time to bE verified. My employer in NB and it took 3 months at the beginning of the year but it could be faster now as it is main stream of the province at the moment. And they only have reference number after they are designated.

Hi there, just a quick question to follow up on the amount of time to hear about approval or denial of a provincial endorsement. Do I understand correctly that it took three months to get a decision on the provincial endorsement from NB?

Hi Again Kenatlantic, I just want to clarify on your timeline, you've got 'submit endorsement to province' by that do you mean "invitation to apply"? I'm super impressed at how organized you were to submit your PR application on the same day that you got your provincial endorsement. Finally, did you apply for the expedited work permit to be allowed work for your employer while waiting for the PR processing?

Can’t compare 2022 and 2025. What once used to be to relatively easy and fast is no longer the case. You need to talk to people applying in the past 6-9 months.

No doubt there have been changes. I haven't been able to find any recent applicants on this forum, which is why I contacted you, and one other, to see how your experience was. Actually, AIP applicants to New Brunswick in general seem to as rare as hen's teeth.

The quotas are incredibly small.

 

[Gumby749]

That they are, though I don't have the exact breakdown by province. The quota for 2025 was reached in less than two months.

You should be working towards other pathways while you wait unless you work in certain profession in very high demand and have a high score. Also consider learning French, increasing IELTS score, etc.
