The first step is to determine your NOC. You have to research it by yourself, according to your job duties: http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/Matrix.aspx
After determining the NOC, you have to see if it is one of the occupations in demand in Nova Scotia. Assuming you have no employment offer or previous work experience in the province, the only stream you can apply is NS Demand: Express Entry. Here is the page with all the information regarding the stream: http://novascotiaimmigration.com/move-here/nova-scotia-demand-express-entry/. Click on the "Application Forms" button and read the Application Guide thoroughly (be sure the select the correct one on the list). There, you will find all the demanded occupations, the pre-requisites and how to properly calculate your points. As a tip, I can tell you that your spouse's education has no impact on your NS points, unless if it was in Nova Scotia. The only way to contribute to your application would be if he/she also took an IELTS test and got at least CLB 4 in all abilities. That would give an additional 5 points.
Right now, it seems you don't have the minimum score requirements. Probably, the only way to improve is by improving your IELTS scores. Nevertheless, it is better if your spouse also takes the examination. Also, don't forget that you need to get an Educational Credential Evaluation (ECA), if you haven't done so. The most recommended agency, due to quicker processing is WES (www.wes.org/ca). Although your spouse's education doesn't count points in NS's grid, it is also advisable to do and ECA too, as it can give you some additional EE points and might be useful to get employment in Canada.
