Labour Market Priorities

Labour Market Priorities of Nova Scotia is one of the programs of the NSNP, a Provincial Nominee Program, administered by the province of Nova Scotia. This program is intended to point out workers with practice in extremely high-valued professions or those with knowledge in the province’s language preferences.

Adjusted with the governmental EE policy, successful candidates for this program gain a 600-point increase in their EE profiles, assuring them an ITA for Canadian permanent residency. This program picks applicants with job experience in highly searched professions or those with ability in the language priorities of the province.

Labour Market Priorities – Eligibility Requirements

To get eligible for this stream, you must follow these requirements for applying quickly:

• To qualify for this program, candidates must be registered in the governmental EE pool. To submit an EE profile to the pool, candidates must be prepared for a minimum of one of three programs: FSW, CEC, and FST. 
• Many times, the province mainly selects applicants with high French-language ability. However, the case is that applicants for this program must match the minimum language skill and education conditions of their EE program.

• Have legal status in your current country of residence.
• Demonstrate sufficient funds to successfully establish yourself and your family in Nova Scotia and to pay your immigration costs and travel expenses.
