NOVA SCOTIA Provincial Nominee Program January 2015

[Applicant78]

1. For this analysis, let us look at other case. In other case, she applied for fsw and later she applied for sinp and eventually applied for PR. So 2 applications and once sinp one progresses, the candidate received email from sinp asking if she would like to use her nomination to settle in sk or wanted to withdraw sinp nomination as the candidate is already applied (through fsw) to settle in ON. So i thought the province is being notified during the PR application stage only along with any other candidate's known intention (like candidate's other cic applications and its destinations). But i am not sure if the province can search on existing applications with cic. But i think the province wont have that ability yet as in this case she got through nomination after applying to fsw (but not sure if the nomination was before AOR or after AOR).

2. I could work.
3. Yes you are right.

thanks for the link and info, harirajmohan!
1) Her case was more complex as two applications were simultaneous, in my case, when I applied to NSNP the cap for my NOC FSW was full. This is why I decided to apply to NSNP. Should I mention this to the officer, and will this help also?
2) Do you think I need to provide to NSOI an updated whole settlement plan or only some evidence supporting my intentions?
Did you mean providing the officer correspondence for the transfer of my accountancy body to NS could work as enough evidence?
Do I need to provide also some evidence of applying to NS employers (but that would be dated after NSOI's email)?
Many thanks again!

Dear friend,

If you are main applicant and you are eligible for EE profile now (without score of your wife's IELTs) so there is no problem because you don't need your spouse IELTS score otherwise based on page11 of application guide:
Your spouse or common-law partner’s language test results must not be more than two years old on the date that we receive your application and application for permanent residence to CIC

your IELTS result should be valid till you apply for PR;please refer to page 6 of application guide and note to below statement:

Language test results must not be more than 2 years old at the time of receipt at NSOI and application for
permanent residence to CIC.

Hi Guys,

Do let me know if you need help with managing the spreadsheet. It seems a little messed up - but at least it has all the new updates!
I'm also handling the OOPNP Sheet (link in my signature) - so it won't be a hassle at all

Dear admins,

Request you to update my details in the new NS SS.
My details are already present for App received date of 5th Feb 2015.

I received my AOR - 23rd July 2015 (frankly had stopped following up )
EE / jobbank details shared - 23rd July 2015



A general request to all who have received ""request for additional information / intent to refuse"" to share what were the queries / information that was sought. It would help others to be prepared.

Thanks in advance admins!!

Congratulations NovaMove. You got your nomination much faster than others. All the best for further processing.

Fingers crossed for mine. Application received 12th Feb. Hope everything goes smoothly and perfectly.

Thanks mate. Looking at our spreadsheet, except early Jan applicants, most of applicant took around 6 months (+/- 3 weeks) till the nomination. This data also ties up with what nsoi suggests on their website, that they hope to process most the applications in upto 6 months.

Last two weeks were particularly stressful for me as I was asked additional information four times till I got nomination yesterday. But good thing was nomination officer was very quick in reviewing and responding back to me with more questions and keep moving on. So I think it depends nominations officer also as to how my time an application takes till nomination.
Feb applicants have started getting AORs already and their papers would now be in immigration officers hands for review. So I truly believe you are also very close to getting the magical news that you a expecting in few weeks. All the best mate.
