Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) – Non Express Entry

    • What is Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) – Non Express Stream

      The non-Express Entry process for Nova Scotia is part of the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP), which allows the province to nominate individuals who have the skills, experience, and qualifications needed in Nova Scotia’s labor market. Here’s an overview of the non-Express Entry process for Nova Scotia:

      • – Eligibility Criteria: The NSNP has several streams, each with its own specific eligibility criteria. These criteria may include factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, and ties to Nova Scotia.

      • – Categories and Streams: The NSNP typically includes streams such as the Skilled Worker Stream, the Entrepreneur Stream, the International Graduate Entrepreneur Stream, and the Physician Stream, among others. Applicants need to determine which stream aligns best with their qualifications and intentions.

      • – Expression of Interest (EOI): In some cases, individuals interested in applying to the NSNP may need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the program. The EOI typically includes information about the applicant’s education, work experience, language proficiency, and other relevant details.

      • – Invitation to Apply (ITA): Qualified candidates may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for provincial nomination from the NSNP. This invitation is usually based on factors such as the applicant’s score in the EOI pool and the current needs of Nova Scotia’s labor market.

      • – Application Submission: Once an ITA is received, applicants have a specified time frame to submit a complete application to the NSNP. The application should include all required documents and information as per the stream’s guidelines.

      • – Nomination: If the application is approved, the applicant will receive a provincial nomination certificate from Nova Scotia.

      • – Federal Application: With the provincial nomination certificate, the applicant can then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence. The federal government will assess the application based on admissibility requirements, such as health, security, and background checks.

      • – Permanent Residence: If the federal application is approved, the applicant and their family members (if applicable) will be granted permanent residence in Canada.

      It’s important for applicants to carefully review the specific requirements and processes for the NSNP stream they are interested in, as they may vary. They should also ensure they have the most up-to-date information by consulting the official website of the Nova Scotia Nominee Program.
