Nova Scotia has issued new invitations to apply for a nomination for Canadian permanent residence through its Express Entry-linked Labour Market Priorities immigration stream on December 1, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Labour Market Priorities Stream<\/a> allows the NSNP to search the federal Express Entry<\/a> pool for candidates who meet labour market needs in the province. Past draws through the stream have targeted programmers and media developers<\/a>, automotive industry workers<\/a> and nurses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The invitations issued December 1 went to eligible Express Entry candidates who have a job offer from a Nova Scotia employer for full-time skilled work in Nova Scotia. The offer of employment must be for a period of at least one year after the permanent resident visa is issued. The term \u201cfull-time\u201d means working year-round and at least 30 hours per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candidates must also have one year of skilled, job-related work experience and have a Canadian secondary school diploma or the equivalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, the draw targeted Express Entry candidates who have a Canadian Language Benchmark<\/a> (CLB) score of 5 or higher in French or English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who received a letter of invitation in today\u2019s draw now have 30 calendar days to submit a complete application to NSNP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candidates must include a copy of language tests, proof of education and of a job offer with their application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candidates invited from Express Entry pool<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to be considered for a provincial nomination from Nova Scotia through the Labour Market Priorities Stream<\/a>, candidates first need to have a profile in the Express Entry system<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Express Entry manages applications for Canadian permanent residence through three federal immigration programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program<\/a> (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program<\/a> (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class<\/a> (CEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Express Entry candidates are ranked on the Comprehensive Ranking System<\/a> (CRS). They are awarded points based on factors such as their age, work experience, education, and language ability in English or French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Express Entry candidates with a provincial nomination<\/a> will automatically be awarded an additional 600 CRS points, which will effectively guarantee that they will receive an Invitation to Apply<\/a> (ITA) in a subsequent Express Entry draw<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To know your eligibility for PNP for Nova Scotia contact us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are immigration experts based in Brampton (Greater Toronto Area), Ontario and specialize in all immigration categories.
