Dear All,

Can anybody help me to answer the below two questions from immigration officer?

1. You have indicated that you visited Ontario with your family in 2016 and that you have never been to Nova Scotia. Please provide additional information why you want to settle in Nova Scotia and not Ontario, even though you have visited Ontario.

2. Under the when not to apply list it states an individual intending to start a business and/or be self-employed in Nova Scotia. You have stated in your settlement plan that you could set up a small business. Elaborate on this, as intending to start a business means you are not eligible for the program.

I guess u applied for NS pnp and this is your additional document request.
Here u need to convince them why u want to settle in NS and not in ontario ( have u mentioned in the application that u have any relatives in ontario?)
This is necessary and u need to prove to them that u will settle in NS after receiving a nomination and u have no other intentions to settle else where

2. Under the when not to apply list it states an individual intending to start a business and/or be self-employed in Nova Scotia. You have stated in your settlement plan that you could set up a small business. Elaborate on this, as intending to start a business means you are not eligible for the program.

If u have applied under the NS demand list (category B) or otherwise (category A if u have job offer) u need to show them how u will settle and how ul purse going about getting a job. U cant mention that ul set up a business there and for that they have other category nominations

Thanks dear jackdawn for your response. I really need your some more opinion to write the both answers.

Reference to the Q1 I do not have any relatives in Ontario even in Canada. instead i have just visited Ontario once in the year 2016 while going to USA. in this situation what should i write to convince the officer?

Reference to Q2 i have mention in my settlement plan as below;
"My desire to live in Nova Scotia stems from the accommodating spirit and the ample opportunities that abound there for me, my husband and my two beautiful kids. If I am accepted to stay in Nova Scotia, I intend to apply for jobs that are in line with my skills and experience, and also search for job opportunities for my husband who has vast experience in Finance, Accounting and Auditing profession with quality work background in the UAE. Alternatively, we could set up a small family business that would cater for our needs as a family."
-Can you please advise me how can i show that the above red option is not suitable for me and convince the officer?

Here you can clearly mention that the visit was a stop over and u have no contacts or relations with ONIP.

You need to show some conviction here, show them what all u have done or doing to settle well in NS ( register for few job sites). Tell them u have registered with job sites specifically to find a job in ur NOC and have approached few company HR's for the same through linkedin. Tell them ul find a school for ur kids first and will take up a rental accommodation nearby. If ur spouse has good experinec write about his plans for a job.

DO NOT MENTION ABOUT SETTING UP A BUSINESS

Hello everyone,Is there a strategy to getting into the site when it opens? Successful persons should please let us know if there are any methods to getting the site to work...I have tried twice (October and December 2017).

Can anyone predict when the next opening will be for category B?
