Eeeerm. New Brunswick is bilingual. In fact it's the only officially bilingual province in Canada. You may have difficulties if you move to some remote fishing village but otherwise I don't see there being any problem about being unilingual anglophone.
Acadian, BTW, is even harder to understand than Quebecois/Jouale. Even my missus has a hard time with it.

Re: I'm new here
The French areas of NB are in the Northern part of the province, and are mainly rural (lots of logging). Moncton, in the south, is also somewhat French, but you certainly don't need to speak it to live there. NB's two largest cities, Saint John and Fredericton, are entirely English - I think you would get some strange looks if you tried speaking French to anyone in Saint John!
My parents are both from Saint John and my relatives still live there, so I am somewhat familiar with it. It is basically a blue-collar town - shipbuilding and pulp & paper were the main industries (I think the shipyard has been shut down). The Irving company owns most of the industries (if you are looking for work you may want to check them out online). There are several residential suburbs around the city itself, all less than a half hour from the city centre. Rothesay has many beautiful old mansions and would be considered the "rich" area. Quispamsis (where my relatives live) is also nice, and not quite as expensive and upscale.
I personally prefer Fredericton to Saint John. It is a bit more scenic and "white-collar" - its main industries are the university and government, as it is the provincial capital. However, I believe Saint John is actually the largest city in the province. Best of luck to you, hope this was of some use!

We too are heading (if application successful) to NB.
We are applying under the PNP for business class.
Unsure of which part yet, but we like the look of the Saint John area, perhaps along the Bay of Fundy a bit in St Martins which is a bit more rural.
We have boys who are 17 and 21 so although we want to live out in the sticks a bit, we need to be somewhere close to civilisation for them.
Have you visited NB yet? We havn't but hope to do so later this year to check out business opportunities and property etc.
Anyway it's good to have another NB fan on board as we seem to be a little thin on the ground.

Hi there no we have'nt been yet but as soon as we have sold our house we will be off to look around. Saint john is where we have been looking at too our kids are 5 and 3 so we need to be near to civilisation for schools. House prices are a real puller to the area I am glued to the mls. I am definately a NB fan and glad there are others out there.
thanks for the welcome

Welcome to the forum, N.B. is a great place - rather laid back in relation to many other parts of Canada. You'll love it.
