The Inside Scoop: The bilingual province of New Brunswick is one of Canada’s three Maritime provinces, all of which have experienced a large influx of international students to their universities. Managed by the New Brunswick Ministry of Post-Secondary Education, Training, and Labour, the province welcomes international students, who are eligible for a three-year Canadian work permit after graduation.
Academic Opportunities: New Brunswick is home to many colleges and four major public universities: The University of New Brunswick, St. Thomas University, Mount Allison University, and Université de Moncton. Founded in 1785, the University of New Brunswick is one of North America’s oldest universities and currently hosts international students from over 100 countries. The province’s academic offerings are particularly strong in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. It comes as no surprise that New Brunswick universities are creating more graduate research opportunities than ever before.
