On the morning of July 5, the Canadian province of Nova Scotia reopened a popular category of its Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry immigration stream. Through this stream, eligible candidates in the Express Entry pool may apply for a provincial nomination through the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP), one of Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).
However, the intake period that began on July 5 closed within hours, showing the popularity of the this NSNP stream. As the most recent intake period indicates, the intake for this stream is capable of being reached within hours, as it has on previous occasions. However, this stream is set to reopen over the next few months and into next year., benefiting potential applicants in the pool who prepare in advance.
Through Category B of the Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry stream, eligible Express Entry candidates with work experience in one of the following ‘opportunity’ occupations may submit an application. A job offer is not required for this category.
