Each applicant’s request will be assessed and will be allotted the points by considering diverse factors such as language ability, education, age, adaptability factors and work experience. An overseas national will also be assessed based on the job offer letter that he or she attains from the concerned employer of the province.
An overseas individual applying though this programme must meet certain criteria’s such as, work experience of full-time or the correspondent part-time in any of the 29 occupations that are present in the profession list, language ability test scores of TEF, CELPIP or IELTS should also be maintained by a candidate. Apart from this, an individual is also required to hold minimum educational qualifications.
In general, a prospective individual has two routes to attain the permanent residence in the province through the new migration programme, such as applying directly to the NSOI and then entering to the pool of express entry or to be chosen by the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration from the pool of express entry.
There are three sorts of migration programmes for Nova Scotia such as skilled worker programme, Family Business Worker programme and Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry programme.
