Hi M.R.S,

Here is what I found in the guide for Q1:

EOI Eligibility criteria
Prior to submitting an EOI, you must demonstrate at least one of the following
eligible connections:
A. You have visited New Brunswick for at least five business days
within the previous 24 months prior to submitting your EOI; or
B You have participated in an Entrepreneurial Stream information
session offered by an official representative from the Government
of New Brunswick within the previous 24 months prior to
submitting your EOI.
Upcoming information sessions will be posted on the
www livinginnb ca website
Or, you or your spouse/common-law partner:
C. have been awarded a diploma or certificate that required at
least two years full-time study at a post-secondary institution
in New Brunswick after completion of high school; or
D. have worked 30 hours per week for at least 12 consecutive
months in a high-skilled occupation (NOC O, A, B) for a company
located in New Brunswick; or
E. have family members (i e, parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle,
niece, nephew, who are Permanent Residents or citizens of
Canada living in New Brunswick for at least 12 months, or
dependent children studying in NB).


For Q2:
I am not sure. I guess you might not be eligible. Or it could be that you can not claim any points in that area.
Any expert or who have been through the process might be of helpful.

My question to you:
Will they consider NOC 0213 as senior management experience?

Thanks and Regards,
