NOVA SCOTIA Provincial Nominee Program January 2015

[Skywalker_RT]

Hi All,
I want to find out how job opportunities is like for health workers in Nova Scotia. I am an occupational therapist and I have gotten my AOR already. I will appreciate your expertise advice. thanks

You'll have to do some research yourself. The most common source of information about the job market in Canada is www.jobbank.gc.ca. There you can find the perspectives for your occupation and even some openings, although the best online resource for jobs in NS is Career Beacon (www.careerbeacon.ca).

I was about to submit my application form with my wife. Therefore I was reading the guide again, and I got a few questions:

1) Letters of reference from employers request information such as company's address, website, etc. My letters don't have the company website, for example. Is that a big problem?
2) It is really needed to have information such as annual salary and worked hours per week? Again, is that strictly needed? Because my ex-companies don't want to include this kind of information since it's not on their "template".
3) My bank doesn't provide letter of balance like requested. Should I send my bank statement in place?

Thank you in advance!

My husband is landing in Halifax on Dec 3rd from India.
His flight details goes like this: Bangalore - Frankfurt, Frankfurt-toranto, Toronto-halfiax.
now since we are Nova Scotia Provincial nominee, do we have to do landing formalities/ immigration things at Toranto?
in our CORP it is written as final destination is Halifax. since there are no direct flights to Halifax we he has to go via Toronto or Montreal .

Please advice.

thanks

As far as I know, landing formalities are always done at the first Port of Entry. He will have to complete his landing formalities in Toronto.

but we are Provincial nomination. and in CORP it is written as final destination is Halifax.
having said this, is it still mandatory to complete landing in Toranto?

It doesn't matter which stream you received your visa under and what is mentioned as "Final Destination" in your COPR. "Landing" is done at the first POE, which is Toronto in your husband's case!

Other members, feel free to correct me if I am wrong!

Yes, landing formalities should be at Toronto since it will be the Port of Entry in Canada. Toronto-Halifax is only a domestic flight and the husband will not pass into any immigration/checkpoints authority upon reaching Halifax.

Hello Admin,

Kindly include my details on the spreadsheet

Feb 24 – Application received
Oct 7 – AOR
Oct 14 - work experience update request and some question and answer on other document details
Oct 30 – Nomination
Nov 3- EE profile became ineligible when updated, lost nomination. Requested NS to re-issue nomination with new EE profile
Nov 18 – new nomination email sent.
Waiting for nomination certificate and ITA. Hopefully it will come soon.

My Question:

How long does it normally take for the nomination certificate?

Does anyone have a NSPNPNOC code different with that of their Express entry but was given an ITA nonetheless?

My express Entry NOC is 0113 (Purchasing Manager)

NSPNP NOC is 1225 (Purchasing Agents and Officers) with nomination

I couldn’t change this in my express entry profile as the code 1225 is not listed under express entry, but given I was issued a NSPNP nomination for 1225 which is like a downgrade of the purchasing manager position, I am thinking that they are already considering this. I’m just worried that when ITA comes this would be a concern. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot.
How long will the immigration process take? because his next flight to Halifax will be 2hours from landing at Toronto Airport?
Should we also declare silver articles which will be carried?

Toronto is a busy airport. One reason is due to passenger traffic so I can't really say how long it will take.

And as to what you should and should not declare or bring, you might want to check it here: http://www.catsa.gc.ca/

I hope it helps.
