Dear community members,

I was nominated through Nova Scotia PNP as an Early Years Educator. I have been in the province for over 6 months and tried my level best to get settled. I have applied for more than 300 jobs and didn't get a response, moreover, I also didn't get my ECE classification (it is like a license) from Dept. of Education stating I have not completed my education in the early years. Now i am doing a part-time job (that's the only thing I could get so far). I have approached all employment agencies with no response so far. My husband has a full-time job and that's how we are surviving for now and both of us are volunteering for several not-for-profits as well. I want to stay in the province as they have nominated me, however with the income we earn it's very difficult to survive. Now the only thing is to change the province, my doubt is should I notify the Nova Scotia immigration or CIC. Sorry for the long post and stupid questions, I just want to clear my doubts before I approach either one of them.

Thank you in advance.

Regards
Sarah

If you have landed as PR then you are free to settle in an province you like given your reason seems valid. If your file is still in process then you cant change province until you become PR.

Hi Sarah,

Moving to another country can be difficult and doing so in the middle of a health crisis presents anybody with even more challenges. So, hang in there !

Maybe you remember the Declaration you had to sign when applying for the NSPNP. It contains your obligations, among others that you will "inform NSOI every time you change your address, your phone number or email address for 3 years after arriving in Canada" (at least, it was in the version I signed in May 2020). So, you would have to notify them of your new address outside of Nova Scotia.

Forums like this one can be useful, but before making any move that could have consequences further down the road, I strongly suggest you get in touch with a certified immigration lawyer/consultant, explain the situation and learn exactly how to build your case for moving to another province in a way that will be acceptable for Nova Scotia.
