What you are stating here is contradicting with what they told us in Abu Dhabi in July. When asked about the quota, the answer was "there is no quota".
Every province has quota for provincial nomination - PNP
I am guessing where is no exact quotas are in potential applicants that can send out their EOI.
But they also have some estimation with how many candidates do they reach their quota.
I am guessing that they were way too generous in the spring and summer sessions, thats why the change now.

11. How many Express Entry nominations do you issue per year under the NBPNP?
The federal government provides a fixed number of Express Entry nominations each year to provinces and territories. New Brunswick has 425 Express Entry nominations in 2015.

Above extract from NB website... the 425 qouta was for 2015...there is no information for 2016 and donot forget that few months ago there has been an agreement signed between govt of Canada and Atlantic states as follows:
Canada's Atlantic provinces are set for a boost in immigration numbers after the federal government, together with the Premiers of the Atlantic provinces, announced a new pilot program to facilitate the entry of more immigrants through the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). The plan is part of a new Atlantic Growth Strategy.

The Atlantic provinces comprise of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.), and Newfoundland and Labrador. The announcement of the pilot program was made in P.E.I. on July 4 following a meeting between the four Atlantic premiers — P.E.I. Premier Wade MacLauchlan, New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dwight Ball, and Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil — and several federal ministers, including Immigration Minister John McCallum.

The pilot program, which is scheduled to last for an initial period of three years, will aims to bring thousands of new immigrants to the region by matching the needs of local employers with the skill sets of immigrants. In addition, additional efforts will be made to expedite the recognition of new immigrants' credentials.

Officials plan to admit up to 2,000 new immigrants and their families to the region in 2017. That number could rise in following years depending on how well the project performs.

"So it could be something like 4,000 people, and that number is scheduled to rise in coming years, depending on how well we do," said Minister McCallum, who added that he's heard "loud and clear" the message that Atlantic Canada wants to attract more immigrants to settle in the region.


So we donot know how much is the qouta for NB for 2016. Further Ashraf mentioned couple of times during Abu Dhabi session that there is no qouta and your case will be processed in around 6 weeks. He has been proven wrong on 6 weeks thing as I can see lot of people including myself waiting for more than 6 weeks,,,

Today is 10 weeks I am waiting and I am in priority one. I did have to send additional documents which they received three weeks ago. All problems became when they started giving ITA on info session. That's why we all suffering including those candidates who received ITA on info. Before processing time was 5 weeks and now who knows for how long is going to take. Each person is individual for him/herself and only what you can do is to not think about it too much but just wait.

I am not in a position to judge Ashraf, but I have a feeling that he doesn't know what he is doing in Dubai he mentioned that the nomination process takes round 3 month and that there are no quota for ITAs;however he said they need only 500 applicants!

A different issue. For all those that still want or can send EOI, do not use Hotmail account. I guess you already know that. it seems that for some reason Hotmail mails do not reach the provice mail.

I have also checked a bit and it seems that NB will be heavily present in France. So most likely they want to pick up potential candidates for their new French stream.

Guys, please be patient. Great things take time.

I waited for ITA for 2 months (by the way, I used Hotmail and I did not receive the auto reply email when I sent the EOI but I later received the ITA email from them on Hotmail account). I was asked for additional documents twice in early July and in September and finally got my nomination last week.
