Nova Scotia Nominee Program
With many Express Entry-aligned streams and room to welcome graduates and entrepreneurs, Nova Scotia is an increasingly popular destination for newcomers.
The Labour Market Preferences System is a fluid and versatile process that helps the province to pick, depending on the current labor market requirements, qualifying candidates from the Express Entry pool and invite them to apply for provincial candidacy. Each round of invitations chooses applicants with job experience in a given profession or occupation in the Express Entry pool. Candidates chosen from this process that depend on productive job prospects in the province, because their profession has been targeted because there is a local shortage of that expertise and skill set.
The streams of Express Entry-aligned Demand and Experience allow eligible candidates to choose Nova Scotia as their new home in Canada within the federal Express Entry pool. Through the Experience stream, individuals in the Express Entry pool who have work experience in Nova Scotia may find success. Meanwhile, the Demand stream works across two sub-categories: Candidates with a work opportunity may apply to Category A at any time, while Category B regularly opens to accept applications from individuals in specific positions. Nova Scotia Demand: candidates for an Express Entry Class B do not need a job request.
