New Brunswick introduced Bill 6 on October 27, proposing mandatory licensing for foreign worker recruiters beginning April 1, 2028 and at least 3 years of recruitment recordkeeping for employers. If passed, the changes would tighten registration, fees and oversight for recruiters and businesses hiring foreign workers, although the bill has only received first reading.
