‘Enhanced’ Nova Scotia Nomination Program

Ever since the launch of the Express Entry system in 2015, the scope of obtaining permanent residency for foreign skilled workers, entrepreneurs have significantly widened, by virtue of provincial immigration streams aligning into ‘base’ and ‘enhanced’ streams.

The ‘enhanced’ immigration streams are aligned with the Express Entry pool. Now, Nova Scotia under its Labor Market Priorities stream can search the federal pool for eligible candidates who match the province’s labour demand.

The express entry system is an application database management system for three federal immigration programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP); and Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

Registered candidates in the Express Entry system are assessed based on multiple factors such as their age, education, work experience, and official language ability. Further, they are given a ranking score according to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

All the nominated candidates get to apply for a provincial nomination issued by NSNP. After successfully receiving a provincial nomination certificate, such candidates may receive an additional 600 points towards their CRS score. This is sufficient to guarantee them an invitation to apply for permanent residence in the upcoming federal Express Entry draws.

Canada is targeting to welcome over 401,000 new immigrants each year by 2023. If you are planning to apply for Canadian immigration, take this free assessment online to determine your eligibility.
