The Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program encourages qualified immigrants to settle in the local communities to help the province meet its industrial, economic and labour-market needs. The Program is designed to help Nova Scotia employers fill critical skill shortages in the permanent workforce and to create economic benefit for the provincial economy.
