What Is the Nova Scotia Nominee Program

The Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) allows the province of Nova Scotia to nominate eligible foreign workers, international graduates, and experienced professionals for Canadian permanent residency. The program supports Nova Scotia’s economic growth by addressing local labour market needs and encouraging long-term settlement.
A provincial nomination through NSNP can significantly strengthen a permanent residence application.
