Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program

Employers who require the skills of skilled workers can take advantage of the Skilled Worker Stream, which assists recently graduated international students with the skills they need. Foreign workers may only be hired if an employer has been unable to fill a position with Canadians or permanent residents.

• An employer in Nova Scotia has offered you a full-time permanent position;
