The province of Nova Scotia is located on Canada’s east coast on the Atlantic Ocean. Nova Scotia may be the second smallest Province in Canada but its natural resources are enormous and there is a growing demand for more highly skilled workers. The province plays host to many unique Provincial Nomination Programs (PNPs) designed to attract and retain newcomers who will be able to fill gaps in the workforce and contribute meaningfully to local economies and communities. The Nova Scotia PNP uses the ‘first come, first served’ system, candidates may submit their provincial nominee application as soon as they meet the eligibility requirements of their chosen immigration stream.
There are several streams when we talk about NSNP which are as follows:
-
