Immigration and the inflow of immigrants from overseas are two ways Nova Scotia hopes to boost its population and economy.

Choosing Nova Scotia Canada as a place to immigrate is a good decision for many reasons.

Maritime province Nova Scotia is situated on the east coast of Canada. Seascapes, rugged vistas, and wild places abound in this part of Canada.

The immense natural resources of Nova Scotia, notably its fishery, have long been the foundation of the province's economy. This is still the case today, although the province's economy has diversified since then. Trade, new technology, and tourism—fueled by cruise ship guests passing through the port of Halifax, the capital—are all contributing to the economic growth of Nova Scotia.

For some years now, Nova Scotia has depended on immigration to help with its demographic issue, which is the result of an aging population and a low birthrate. Recent efforts to bring in new residents have been successful and have enabled the population to increase. It is expected that the population of the province hit a new record high of 992,055 in July. According to Nova Scotia's administration, the rise in population may be linked to an increase in immigration.

According to recent surveys, Nova Scotians are among the most pro-immigration Canadians, outpacing the national average by a wide margin.

To immigrate to Nova Scotia Canada, what steps must i take?

Canadian economic immigration is facilitated via the Provincial Nominee Program and Express Entry. It employs a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) under which points are gathered depending on characteristics including age, education and fluency in a language. Having a job offer gives Express Entry candidates an extra 600 points, which increa ses their chances of being called to apply for permanent residence in Canada.

Immigration streams are basically a network of criteria under Canada's Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). In the 1990s, the PNP was developed to guarantee that the advantages of immigration were distributed more evenly throughout the nation. Immigrant streams that assist participating provinces and territories find and attract economic immigrants may be introduced under this initiative. The federal government sets allocation quotas for each province, while each province sets its own nomination standards and allocation quotas.

You must first be nominated by a province or territory before you may come to Canada via a PNP.

The federal Express Entry system is connected to at least one "enhanced" nomination stream in all Canadian provinces and territories with a PNP. One of these is the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSPN).

Once your application has been accepted into the Express Entry pool, you may get a Letter of Interest from the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration (NSOI) encouraging you to apply for a provincial nomination. You will have 60 days from the day you get this notice to submit your nomination application to the province. If your application is accepted, you will get a certificate of nomination. Additionally, your nomination will be sent to the Express Entry system.

The nomination certificate is valid for 6 months from the date of issuing. You must apply for permanent residency with IRCC within this time period.
