Candidates interested in applying for permanent residence and settling in the province of Nova Scotia may qualify for the Nova Scotia Demand Stream, the Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program’s Express Entry Stream. The Nova Scotia Demand Stream opened on May 8th with two categories for potential applicants. Category B does not require a job offer and is available to applicants who have experience in a target occupation. Applications for category B are not being accepted at this time. However, applicants with a job offer may qualify to apply under category A, which is accepting applications online. The program is expected to close and reopen throughout the years, so it is important that you get your application prepared and submitted quickly.
Applicants in the Express Entry pool, who qualify for the Nova Scotia Demand Stream, will receive an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) points and an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in the next Express Entry Draw. In order to apply under Category A of the Nova Scotia Demand Stream, you must meet the minimum requirements as listed below:
- Score at least 67 points on the Nova Scotia Demand Stream’s six selection factors;
- Have a full-time, permanent offer of employment;
- Have at least 12 months of skilled work experience related to the job offer;
- Have a Canadian high school credential or the equivelant;
- Score a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 or higher; and
- Have the necessary funds to settle successfully in Nova Scotia.
