Hi! Would anyone know any scheduled NBPNP info session scheduled soon in the UAE, or any country nearby?

Appreciate your tip!

Thanks!
 
Thank you! :)

I also saw this information on Facebook... Is this the only source for NBPNP session schedule? Am so hoping that there will be a closer venue... Hope to hear your input again.
 
Nowadays, NB also requires you to be a permanent resident or citizen of the country of venue. So it's not like last year where you can book a flight to the nearest venue and hope for an ITA from them.

I'm sure things will ease out soon but your best bet is to regularly check their website...they post their info session schedules there (and nowhere else).
 
For the "International" session they say:

We have many employment opportunities in this field so pleasae register ONLY if you speak both French and English and you have experience in a Call Center!!!

Why are they making it difficult and asking for both English and French abilities, do they speak both languages in NB?

It might be obvious but what does "you have experience in a Call Center" mean?
 
New Brunswick is a bilingual province after all...
You need to have an extensive experience working as all call center agent to be qualified for that slot.

i think they expect you to be a resident of the country of session, and not permanent resident. You can maintain residency in another country on a work visa too.
 
Yeah, I stand corrected. Thanks.

At their current conditions, gone are the days (so far ) that you can just buy a plane ticket to a venue and get an invitation to apply.

Not just that. They have gotten too strict these days to the extent of looking beyond NOC while choosing candidates. They request for resume and take a look at the skill set before sending out even the invite for the information session. I registered for their session in US, and sent the resume, and haven't heard back anything from them. They are also asking not to follow up in any way on this and ask us to assume that if no response, then no invitation to attend the session from them. I found it too stringent. Good programmers can work across technologies too. I understand that they really want to let people with likelihood of succeeding in settling there, but this much drilling down to the level of technologies worked seems too much!

I applied under their nomination program last year, and the sheer volume of applications still pending is really high. Which explains why they're very particular with the people they deal with recently. I'm hopeful they'll be more open to other candidates and job skills later this year :)
