New Brunswick Eases AIP for the Restaurant Industry: Opportunities for Cooks, Chefs, and Bakers

New Brunswick's Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) policy has notable changes for the accommodation and food services industry. According to the province's updated information, removing the occupational group restriction does not mean all occupations are eligible: the province still applies a restricted NOC list and specific conditions for businesses and applicants.
Cooks, Chefs, and Bakers are eligible for AIP consideration
Cooks (NOC 63200), Chefs (NOC 62200), and Bakers (NOC 63202) are not part of the Restaurant and Food Service Managers (NOC 60030) and Food Service Supervisors (NOC 62020) groups, which remain restricted. Eligibility to apply for AIP must be checked against the official list at the time of review and based on the specific application.
Positions recruited by KeyApply's partner in New Brunswick
KeyApply is introducing Cook and Chef opportunities in Moncton, as well as Baker positions in New Brunswick through a recruitment partner. Clients can view position details and hiring requirements in KeyApply's Canada labor recruitment category.
If you want to assess your eligibility for the AIP, you can view the Atlantic Immigration Program application assessment service. The hiring entity must have a valid designation, the application requires endorsement, and the province still applies intake limits and priority order. Employment does not automatically guarantee a Work Permit or PR.
