The NSNP - Nova Scotia Nominee Program is the Provincial Nominee Program of the Province of Nova Scotia through which it offers multiple immigration pathways to a wide range of immigrants to arrive in Canada. Innumerable migrants ranging from overseas students, skilled workers, and entrepreneurial talents to provisional overseas workers in Nova Scotia obtain Canada PR Visa through one of these migration streams. Some of these streams are also allied with the Federal Express Entry System.
Nova Scotia aims at prospective applicants through one of the Nova Scotia PNP streams by considering their human capital factors and experience that it needs to build the communities and economy of the province. Candidates who fulfill the eligibility criterion of any one of the 8 immigration streams of the province can receive a nomination for Nova Scotia immigration. The current target processing times of NSNP applications for Canadian immigration are around 3 months.

Being a part of the PNP of Canada, Nova Scotia runs its own provincial program – the Nova Scotia Nominee Program [NSNP] – for the induction of newcomers into the province. It is through the Nova Scotia PNP that prospective immigrants – with the skills and experience targeted by the province – might be nominated by the NSNP to immigrate to Nova Scotia.
The PR visa does not make you a citizen of Canada; you are still a citizen of your native country. As a PR visa holder, you can enjoy the following benefits:
