Nova Scotia’s Express Entry Stream to Reopen for More Applications
Nova Scotia’s Express Entry Stream to Reopen for More Applications
The government of Nova Scotia has
announced that it will accept up to 300 more applications through the Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry
immigration stream, starting at 9 a.m. local time (8 a.m. EST) on Wednesday,
October 11. These applications will be accepted under Category B of the
stream. A job offer is not required, but eligible Express Entry candidates must
have work experience in an eligible occupation.
(Update:
Since this article was first published, this stream closed for new applications
the afternoon of October 11.)
Through this stream, eligible
candidates in the Express Entry pool may apply for a provincial nomination
through the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP),
one of Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). Since
this is an enhanced Express Entry-aligned stream, successful applicants receive
600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
points and an Invitation to Apply (ITA)
for permanent residence in a subsequent draw from the pool.
Category B of Nova Scotia’s Express
Entry aligned stream has proven to be popular, with the intake often reaching
its limit quickly, sometimes within a day. Therefore, it is important for
candidates who are interested in applying to be prepared by reviewing
eligibility across all criteria and ensuring all documentation is gathered and
up-to-date. This stream may reopen again at some stage in the future,
benefiting potential applicants in the pool who prepare in advance.
The Nova Scotia Demand: Express
Entry stream is one of the few economic immigration streams in Canada that
function on a first-come, first-served basis. Eligible Express Entry candidates with work
experience in one of the following ‘opportunity’ occupations may submit an
application.
