Nova Scotia Employers and Businesses
Skilled Worker Stream

The Skilled Worker stream of the Nova Scotia Nominee Program(NSNP) is a focused and strategic program to assist employers in hiring workers whose skills may be in limited supply in the province. The stream helps employers recruit and/or retain foreign workers with the required skills for positions that they may have been unable to fill with a permanent resident or Canadian citizen. This stream is employer-driven. The applicant must have a guaranteed, permanent job offer from a Nova Scotia employer before submitting an application to the Nova Scotia Nominee Program.
