Just out of curiousity - since this is the NS Provincial Nominee thread, are Nova Scotia Experience - Express Entry candidates being tracked here? Wouldn't mind getting some updates on that from anyone that's applied as this stream is pretty much tailor-made for international students in NS but should also apply for anyone with canadian work experience i could imagine.
The processing time also appears to be much shorter as I know of a few people who have gone through submitted -> AOR -> Nomination in roughly two or three weeks. I personally submitted my application on June 10th, received my AOR on June 12th and I'm hoping to receive word on a nomination in the next week or two
