    As you can see, SOL on a written contract is 3 to 6 years. You can find it on line, you just weren't entering the simplest direction, i.e. 'SOL on written contract, prov. Of New Brunswick' in Google. You don't say though, what type of written contract you are referring to. It may make a difference to the SOL, say for instance, if it's a judgment against you for an old debt.

    Statutes of Limitations

    Statutes of limitations set the deadline or maximum period within which a lawsuit or claim may be filed and vary depending on the circumstances of the case, the type of case or claim involved, and whether the lawsuit or claim is filed in state or federal court.
    Statute of Limitation for Civil Actions

    The statute of limitations for filing a civil action varies from state to state. Statutes of limitations usually allow a party at least one year to file suit. The following are examples of statute of limitations for common civil claims:

    * Negligence: personal injury - 1 to 2 years; intentional wrongdoing - 1 to 6 years
    * Breach of oral contract - 2 to 6 years
    * Breach of written contract - 3 to 6 years
    * Medical Malpractice - 1 to 4 years from act or occurrence of injury or 6 months to 3 years from discovery
    * Legal Malpractice - 1 to 3 years from date of discovery or 2 to 5 years from the date of the wrongful act
    * Fraud or mistake - 3 to 6 years from the date of discovery
    * A claim against a government entity - usually less than 1 year
    * Collection of federal income taxes - 10 years
    * State income taxes - varies from state-to-state; some states have no limit
    * Property damage - 2 to 10 years
    * Enforcement of civil judgment - 5 to 25 years
