In-demand Jobs in New Brunswick in 2020-21

Forests and farmland are aplenty in the picturesque Atlantic province of New Brunswick. If you want to find a job in Canada that could lead to permanent residency, you cannot go wrong with the least densely populated maritime province. There are an estimated 780,000 people living in New Brunswick. About half the population lives in rural areas and the other half in one of the provinces cities Greater Moncton, Greater Saint John, or Fredericton. The city of Saint John also happens to be the first incorporated city (1785) in what is now Canada.  

The beautiful province has the warmest ocean water north of Virginia, USA, so summertime trips to the beach could be a regular activity. The province also boasts interesting attractions such as the world's longest covered bridge, the world's largest whirlpool, and magnetic hill, where if you stop your car in neutral, it will begin climbing the hill all by itself! You can even pop across the border and visit the popular US states of Maine, Vermont, and New York during your off time.
