Foreign nationals wanting to move to the Atlantic Canadian province of New Brunswick are facing new, temporary restrictions as the provincial government there tries to protect the job prospects of Canadians.

"Businesses have reduced services, laid off staff, and in some cases have closed," reads a government update. "Some sectors have been affected more significantly than others. Certain occupations in these sectors have been particularly vulnerable to changes in employment status."

The healthcare and information technology sectors have been spared of these new restrictions

The province is still accepting and processing applications for all immigration streams under the Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP) and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) program from applicants throughout the world for both the healthcare and IT fields.

Temporary foreign workers and international student grads already living and working in New Brunswick are also being spared those restrictions. Applications are still being processed for all immigration streams within both the PNP and AIP programs.
