As of June 1, 2014
There is a new immigration program for International Students in Nova Scotia. The province of Nova Scotia has opened a new immigration program allowing international students an option to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Beginning on June 1, 2014 students who have graduated from a Canadian college or university and have a job offer from an employer in Nova Scotia may now qualify to apply for permanent residence.
The new pathway to Canadian permanent residency is an excellent option as it will allow graduates to think about their future in Canada so they may contribute to the Canadian economy.
Students must have completed a college or university study program, but there is no requirement for them to have studied in the province of Nova Scotia. Ultimately, allowing students from all over Canada to relocate to Nova Scotia, assuming they have a job offer. Similar to all other skilled worker streams, the job offer must be in a skilled occupation (level O, A or B of the National Occupation Classification). Once nominated by Nova Scotia, an application to the federal government made as a skilled worker must be submitted.
Applying for nomination and permanent residence through the new Nova Scotia program
If you have graduated (or will graduate soon), and you have a job offered to you, we highly recommend to contact our office for a free consultation and assessment to determine your eligibility for this program. While the Nova Scotia program may approve and nominate you for permanent residence, the federal government of Canada, Citizenship & Immigration Canada will make the final decision to grant the visa. Call our offices to speak with an immigration representative at no charge or obligation.
