Nova Scotia continues to chart new territory with new immigration streams equivalent to:
- Occupations in Demand: truck drivers and nurse’s aides– these are NOC C jobs which usually require 6-months expertise with the NS employer earlier than being eligible for the Expert Employee Stream, which often meant a LMIA. Now you may apply on the power of the job supply, no want for the 6 months of labor.
- NS Doctor Stream 2.0: You may get PR in about 6 months within the new stream (versus 2 years within the different one) however to qualify for the brand new program, physicians want 3 additional issues: Academic Credential Evaluation, Language Check and a Return of Service Settlement with the provincial well being authority (mainly saying you’ll keep and observe in NS for a variety of years after you develop into a PR)*
