Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)

The Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) provides pathways for individuals with the skills, experience, and commitment to thrive in Nova Scotia. Through this program, the province nominates eligible candidates for Canadian permanent residency, aligning with its economic and labor market needs.

Key Streams Under NSNP

The NSNP includes several targeted streams:

1. Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry

Designed for individuals with Canadian work experience who wish to settle in Nova Scotia.

2. Nova Scotia Experience: Express Entry

The Nova Scotia Experience: Express Entry stream allows candidates with experience in Nova Scotia’s labor market to apply for permanent residency through the federal Express Entry system. This stream targets workers who already contribute to the province’s economy.

3. Skilled Worker Stream

For those with a job offer from a Nova Scotia employer in skilled, semi-skilled, or low-skilled occupations.

4. Entrepreneur and International Graduate Entrepreneur Streams

For individuals ready to establish or run a business in the province.

5. Occupation in Demand Stream

Eligibility Requirements

Eligibility criteria differ across streams but generally include factors like work experience, language proficiency, education level, and intent to live in Nova Scotia. For streams like the Skilled Worker or Occupation in Demand, applicants typically require a valid job offer in the province.
