After Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia is the second smallest of Canada’s provinces. The province is with over 3,000 smaller islands. Its capital city, Halifax, is known as a major center for culture and arts and its high standard of living. Nova Scotians are closely connected to the sea, and the province is renowned for its coastal beauty and delicious cuisine.
Nova Scotia’s Provincial Nominee Program has six streams for workers and international graduates and two additional for entrepreneurs. Nova Scotia has its method of issuing invitations; they usually invite candidates from the express entry pool targeting one specific profession or language or based on other factors that the province considers as in demand.
Most of the NSNP streams are Express Entry aligned. The criteria to apply under each stream are different. Some streams are targeted only at some professions. When a candidate receives a provincial nomination, it receives 600 extra CRS points, resulting in the applicant receiving an invitation to apply (ITA) in the following Express Entry draw to apply for PR with IRCC.
