Hello everyone, I got my AOR today!

but I am still worried not to get the nomination after they change the points system. I had 68 points when I applied but last May 19 they released a new point system, I lose 2points and now I am having a score of 66. I have only 5years and 7 months of experience when I submitted my application. Nextmonth will be my 6yrs of experience...I am not sure if they will consider that. As i read the post of zerogravityplayer they will no longer accept additional documents if it doesnt reach 67points.. I am losing my hope now. I feel so disappointed :(
So you mean they consider your application if it meets criteria when they issue nomination not AOR? so what do they check when they issue AOR?

First they check your documents to be complete based on your checklist and send you AOR email, then it proceed to validate documents and also counting your points and other intended criteria

From the discliamer section, in latest app guide....

If application criteria or forms are updated or if there are
changes to the NSNP or its streams including closure or suspension of a stream, you will find the most current
information at http://novascotiaimmigration.com/immigrate/. Applications [may] be assessed with the most current
criteria irrespective of the date of submission of an application



"So it is [may]" THEY did not mention [will]... so you may be assessed or not...... with latest criteria...

No worries... the old criteria may exist...

Hello Guys,

What do you think will happen in a situation like this?

At the time you applied to NSOI, your total Work Experience was 1 year 10 months say (so you score 09 points for work experience, so your total points in this case is 65).

But at the time Officer gets to your application (file), you've added 3 more months on your current job, so your total work experience is now 2 years 2 months. (Points for work experience now = 11, so your total points now adds up to 67).

What do you think the Officer will do in this case?

Ask for recent most recent Work experience Letter, or Refuse Application?? :-X :-X

Your experience that is taken into consideration is based upon the time [range] mentioned in your work experience reference letters, sent first time to NS office.

With regard to current company, the date is considered from date your joined the company to till date [i.e date on when the reference letter is provided by your company]

Until otherwise the case officer asked you to send an updated experience letter.

I have a question, do you think after getting AOR we should deselect all provinces but nova scotia in our EE profile to show we intend to live there. I think if they find we have done like this then they count it as pretense. what did you do and what is your idea?

Select NS only, i do not think EE will maintain history of your updates at front end so provinces can see it, i also feel that NS will not be interested in that.

NS need EE number to send the invitation through online.. thats it. Type the number see if the content matches with the app you sent to NS and send the invite...

Its simple.

May 22 - I received a call a while ago from NSOI. They clear some things about my application. I am aware that I needed 67 according to the application guide but I am not so aware with the following information.

1. They only ask for additional documents if the applicant reached 67 points on the time it reaches the office.
2. They don't consider additional documents on email or mail after the time they received the application just to add up with your points to be 67.

If only I knew these things earlier... I should have not payed for WES and IELTS. Lol! ;D
One of the member here who has the same situation told me that NSOI give time to accomplished the documents if you are lacking of 67 points so he took IELTS to get an Express Entry Profile Number / get higher score, maybe I think that it is possible to get 67 points on provincial nomination but they couldn't get a valid Express Entry Profile. I can't really understand the system sometimes because I was eligible for express entry when I made an account on the 2nd day of January 2015 with the accurate information that I have so I thought that I could get a nomination for this Pilot Nova Scotia Nomination Express Entry. I don't know now who tells the truth.

Anyway, my plan A failed so my plan B is to take my Doctor of Medicine instead while waiting for other provincial nominee program as I am going to obtain my 67+ points next month from my updated WES credential evaluation and higher IELTS score.

Au revoir Nova Scotia! :) *Peace out
ZGP, that so nice of you.. updating on your case. this info is very helpful.

I am happy that you will be gaining 67 points in near time. I am sure NS will be open then too... and at same time I wish multiple provinces be open to you once your ready.
