Hello everyone,
I would like to know about your experiences regarding the background check (criminality/security) stage for a Permanent Residence application through the New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), outside Express Entry.
Here is my situation:
I’m trying to understand how long this stage usually takes, especially for applicants under the New Brunswick PNP or other non-Express Entry PNP streams.
Your feedback would really help me estimate the expected timeline before the final decision.
Thank you very much and good luck to everyone with your applications!
