Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)

Nova Scotia, almost completely surrounded by the sea, has a distinctive Maritime personality.

No matter where you venture to in Nova Scotia, you are never more than 65 km from the sea. Halifax is not only the provincial capital but also the commercial and financial capital of the entire Maritime region. It has a large and busy harbor and is headquarters for Canada’s Atlantic Navy.

The Nova Scotia’s provincial nominee program is called NSNP (Nova Scotia Nominee Program). Successful candidates, post nomination by the province will receive the Nova Scotia Provincial Nomination Certificate. NSNP applications are processed at comparatively very less time compared other immigration streams. Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) consists of 5 immigration streams. They are:

• Nova Scotia Demand Category: Express Entry
• Nova Scotia Experience Category: Express Entry

Each of these programs have been designed to meet the province’s growing need of having a strong workforce as well as businessmen and entrepreneurs. To know more about these immigration streams, contact us.
