Here I am copy-paste the reply from the NSOI regarding my enquiry...................
Good day,
The Nova Scotia Office of Immigration has received a large number of applications to the Regional Labour Market Demand stream. Currently we are logging and assessing these applications. We are accepting 150 nominees through this stream. It may be helpful for you to know that applications are being assessed on a first-come, first-served basis. Once these 150 individuals have been identified, all remaining applications will be returned to applicants. Successful applicants – as well as those who are unsuccessful – will be notified. If you have not been notified it means that your application has not reached processing yet.
This is a complicated process that takes time. It would be a difficult and time-consuming task to check the status of each individual application. As such we cannot provide individual status updates, timeframes for completion, or information pertaining to assessment up to specific dates.
Please find below some answers to questions that you may have:
Q: When will 150 applicants be nominated under the RLMD stream?
A: Recognizing that people are anxious to know the status of their application, we are working hard to process applications as quickly as possible. As you can appreciate, there is a lot of complicated work involved and it does take time.
The Nova Scotia Office of Immigration does not have a set date whereby the applicants will be nominated. We will have this work done as quickly as we can.
Q: How far along are you with regard to nominating 150 applicants under the RLMD stream?
A: We are over 70% complete.
Q: Why is it taking so long?
A: The assessing of applications is complicated work. The Nova Scotia Office of Immigration needs to do our due diligence with every application we look at. It is not work that should be – or can be - completed in haste.
Q: Will you be reviewing all applications?
A: We will continue to review applications until we have reached 150 nominations. All unprocessed applications will be returned after the cap has been reached.
