Immigration to Hants County
True to her immigration history and to her present and future goals and needs, Nova Scotia has designed an immigration strategy
that fits her own social, economic and human capital needs.
The Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)
offers a quicker entry into Canada for qualified workers and experienced entrepreneurs who wish to settle in Nova Scotia and become
permanent residents of Canada.
The program is administered by the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration in partnership with
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), the Federal Department responsible for immigration. This program
allows Nova Scotia to recruit and select immigrants who can contribute to meeting the labour market and economic needs of the province.
Individuals nominated by Nova Scotia, together with their spouse/partner and dependent children, are eligible to apply for a permanent
resident visa from Citizenship and Immigration Canada under the federal Economic Class known as the Provincial Nominee Class.
Please refer to our Provincial immigration website: www.novascotiaimmigration.com
for more detailed information, and the various aspects of our provincial immigration process.
The NSNP is made up of the following four streams:
Skilled Worker Stream - There are
specific sectors in Nova Scotia that have many opportunities for skilled immigrants. This stream helps
to fast track an applicant who has the needed skills and a permanent full-time job offer.
Community Identified Stream -
Aimed at individuals who are employable, have strong established connections to a Nova Scotia
community, and can contribute to the labour market and economy of that
specific community. If you determined you were eligible to immigrate into
Canada and decided to apply under the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP), under
Community Identified Stream please read carefully the information
provided by following this link: http://novascotiaimmigration.com/community-identified-stream
Family Business Worker Stream -
This helps family-owned businesses to hire close relatives who have skills that couldn't be found in
Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
International Graduate Stream - Helps
employers hire and retain recent international graduates whose skills may be in limited supply in the
province. This stream targets international graduates who have
established strong ties to Nova Scotia and intend to live, work, and establish their careers in this province.
