All you need to know about Nova Scotia PNP

Posted by: on

The Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program (NSNP) offered various streams through which individuals could apply for Canadian permanent residency. However, keep in mind that immigration programs can change over time, so it's crucial to refer to the official Nova Scotia immigration website for the most up-to-date and accurate information.

The NSNP typically included the following streams:

  1. Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry Stream (Category A and Category B)
  2. Nova Scotia Experience: Express Entry Stream
  3. Skilled Worker Stream
  4. Entrepreneur Stream
  5. International Graduate Entrepreneur Stream
  6. Physician Stream

To get started with the application process, potential applicants generally needed to:

  1. Determine Eligibility: Review the eligibility criteria for the specific stream they want to apply under. Each stream has its own set of requirements related to work experience, education, language proficiency, and other factors.
  2. Create an Express Entry Profile (if applicable): For streams that were aligned with the federal Express Entry system (such as the Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry and Nova Scotia Experience: Express Entry streams), candidates were required to create an Express Entry profile and indicate their interest in the NSNP
  3. Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA): If your EOI is successful and you meet the criteria, you may receive an ITA to apply for a provincial nomination from Nova Scotia.
  4. Apply for Provincial Nomination: Once you receive an ITA, you can submit a complete application for provincial nomination to the NSOI.
  5. Receive Provincial Nomination: If your application is approved, you will receive a provincial nomination from Nova Scotia. This nomination gives you additional points in the federal Express Entry system or provides a pathway to permanent residency through other streams.
  6. Apply for Permanent Residency: With the provincial nomination, you can apply for Canadian permanent residency to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) as a provincial nominee.
