Like any other Canadian Provincial Nominee Program, Nova Scotia Nominee Program facilitates skilled foreign nationals to immigrate to the Canadian province in order to lead a better and satisfied life. Nova Scotia employers or companies make use of this provincial program to hire skilled immigrants into their operations, when they find the local Canadian lack in the required skills.
