Hello everyone!
Hope you're all having a great day today.

I have been looking up online to see what the minimum pay is required by an employer to apply for PNP in NS to then apply for permanent residency. All I found required in terms of pay says "standard salary and benefits". And when I looked up what that was, it said minimum wage: $10.7/hr, which is NS current minimum wage. I am wondering if that's the required pay or is it the median wage recorded for Nova Scotia ($14.55/hr), reported on job bank, and low wage ($11/hr). So what pay is required for PNP, is it minimum wage or median?
Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
when I read the NSNP requirement for skilled workers it says "prevailing wage rates"
so I would say you should have at least median wage rates in you occpation

but its only my opinion
and if you are not sure then ask NSNP
