Nova Scotia to reopen immigration category for Express Entry candidates without a job offer


The Nova Scotia Nominee Program announced on November 16 that it will accept up to 225 new applications under its popular Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry Category B. The category, which welcomes applications from Express Entry candidates who do not have a job offer in Nova Scotia, is set to open on Saturday, November 17, at approximately 9 a.m. Atlantic Standard Time (AST). In order to apply through this Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry category, candidates must have at least one year of work experience in one of the 11 opportunity occupations listed by the province. A job offer is not required for this category and there is no mandatory minimum CRS score. This popular Canadian immigration category functions on a first-come, first-served basis and applicants who obtain a nomination from Nova Scotia are awarded an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points. This leaves these candidates well-positioned for an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence in a future federal Express Entry draw. To become eligible for Category B of the Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry Stream, individuals must also: 1. Have a profile registered in Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s Express Entry system; 2. Have their foreign education credentials assessed, authenticated, and given an equivalent value in Canada by one of the four designated credential assessment agencies; 3. Demonstrate, by way of a standardised language test acceptable to the governments of Canada and Nova Scotia, at least an adequate intermediate language proficiency in English or French (Canadian Language Benchmark) CLB 7; and 4. Obtain at least 67 points on the Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry points grid. Points are awarded based on language proficiency, age, work experience, education, and adaptability.
