Nova Scotia’s province, has announced the information about the new overseas stream for immigration of Canada through the Novia Scotia Nominee Program. Nova Scotia had a great experience of the Express Entry tool which is the second latest immigration stream launched by the province in this year, appreciating the Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry which was launched in the month of January.

Both of the new streams are coordinated with the federal Express Entry immigration selection system which is aiming to choose Canada’s new individuals as a priority basis and advance their application processing.

Nova Scotia Experience: Express Entry paves the way for permanent residence for extremely skilled individuals who already have working experience for a Nova Scotia’s employee and worked for him for minimum one year. Individuals should be eligible to step into the federal Express Entry pool over one of the federal economic migration programs such as Federal Skilled Trades, Canadian Experience Class or Federal Skilled Worker.

Eligibility Criteria for Nova Scotia Experience: Express Entry System:

• Age criteria should be between 21 and 55 years.
• Candidate should have full time skilled work experience for at least 12 months in Nova Scotia during the three years before filling the application.
• Candidate should have gained the work experience in Nova Scotia with the exact authorization of the work permit.
• Candidate should have finished the Canadian secondary high school or completed overseas education from an institution which is recognized and if the candidate has the credential which is obtained from outside the Canada then he/she must have the Educational Credential Assessment report which is issued by CIC designated organization.
• Candidate should have the ability of meeting the language levels needed for, writing, speaking, reading and listening. The levels are CLB 5 for NOC B and CLB 7 for NOC 0 and A.
• Candidate should explain that he/she is planning to live permanently in the province and will be economically well-settled in Nova Scotia.

There are two ways for the application to Nova Scotia Experience: Express Entry stream. The candidates can apply directly from the Nova Scotia Office of immigration or can be selected through the Federal Express Entry pool by the NSOI. In the other case, the main applicant will have to submit the completely filled application to the NSOI.

Living and studying in Canada allows you to immerse yourself in a rich, diverse culture and, if you don’t already speak English, learn English as a Second Language (ESL). To study inCanada, you’ll need to meet the necessary criteria put forth by the Government of Canada for overseas students. Many have made the journey successfully. Read the praise other students have had for studying in Canada:

“When I first arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport, a Canadian immigration officer asked me what school I would be attending. My English wasn’t good at the time; all I knew is that it was a public high school in a city west of Toronto. But after one year studying in Glendale Secondary School, I passed my ESL (English as a Second Language) and was very confident with my English. In my second year in Highland Secondary School, I scored an average of 97 percent on my four courses! I was also champion of the Fermat Contest and Euclid Contest. For this, I say, Thank you!” – Philip Song

“I learned a lot since I came to Hamilton. I learned not only the language and knowledge, but also about the lifestyle in Canada. You have to ask, what hurts more, the pain of hard work or the pain of regret?” – Jerry Luo

“When I first came to Canada, I only ordered those foods that were easy to pronounce, even though I didn’t like them. After two years of study in Hamilton public high school, I got an offer from the Accounting and Financial Management Co-op Program, University of Waterloo.” – Zhang

“Overseas study helped me to grow up faster and be responsible for myself.” – Victoria Huang

“I am lucky that I live with my host family. They are so nice! I cannot imagine how I could live in Canada without their help! … I chose to stay with my host family when I got my offer letter from McMaster University.” – Jiaqi Hu

“My mom accompanied me when I first landed in Toronto three years ago. Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary School offered me so many opportunities that I really appreciate. I practiced my English and joined different group tours in my three years of study… Get out of the comfort zone!” – Holly Ren
