You do not need to show proof of funds if you have a valid job offer.
However, you do need to verify if you have a valid job offer. A valid job offer is one that has a supporting LMIA certificate (Labour Market Impact Assessment) unless your job is LMIA-exempt and there are very few of those.

Hi There

no it is not a LMIA but it is calssed as a skilled worker and they are applying through skilled worker stream as shown below

Skilled Worker

The Skilled Worker stream helps employers recruit foreign workers and recently graduated international students whose skills are needed in Nova Scotia. An employer can only hire foreign workers for positions they have been unable to fill with permanent residents or Canadian citizens.

what are u talking about johnjholland your job offer must be backed up by an LMIA certificate which must be processed by ur employer and most employers dont like to do it

If you've been offered a job and you don't have a work permit, have PR or you're not a canadian citizen..then the job requires an LMIA. Don't think you quite understand what an LMIA is...

Hello, I'm a newbie here. Can anyone add me to the what's app group to NS Demand?

HELP REQUIRED


I had sent my application package to NSNP in October 2015 and waiting for AOR. Meanwhile I had applied and got nominated from SINP. I have also got an ITA and submitted my PR application and got AOR. My Plan A is to get PR via SINP and process is well underway.

I only want to keep this Nova Scotia as plan B, if for some reasons my PR app gets rejected beyond the SINP nomination validity period. Who knows if I'll get SINP nomination again because my NOC may not be in their demand list.

By May or June, Nova Scotia app might get processed and I might get nominated by them in Sept 2016, so I'll trigger Plan B at that time, if Plan A fails. According to this strategy, I will withdraw my Nova Scotia app only in May 2016 after looking at the progress of my PR application via GCMS notes. Does this make sense?

Will there be any problem if CIC or CBSA comes to know that I have applied to two provinces for PNP? Technically, an application for PN can be considered even "In Process" only after they send an acknowledgement right? At this time, I'm only waiting for the 8 long months before they even send an acknowledgement, isnt it?

If you PR application gets rejected it will probably be for reasons other than the provincial nomination. So it will probably not change even with NSNP nomination. In fact, if you get AOR of NS while your PR is in process or unsuccessful, then you might be in some trouble. The NS guys ask you whether you have applied for PR before (to check what location you had opted for) as well as if you have nomination from another province. In both these questions you are cornered.

Also there is a certain cool down period between PR applications for unsuccessful candidates. I don't think you can repetitively keep applying in short intervals unless your position changes.

I hope you get your PR application approved and then you can just withdraw your NSNP application when you get AOR from them. That will be the best way for you.

The Skilled Worker stream helps employers recruit foreign workers and recently graduated international students whose skills are needed in Nova Scotia. An employer can only hire foreign workers for positions they have been unable to fill with permanent residents or Canadian citizens.

Even the Skilled Worker stream requires LMIA supported job offers.
As I said before, you need to verify you job offer to see if it is VALID according to the terms of CIC. Otherwise your application will be considered incomplete and will be returned back to you. Please do you research first before sending out your application to avoid that and if you are in touch with a job consultant, please check with that person first. All the best and hope everything turns out well.

I've never heard of this cool period? On the contrary, I've only seen people correcting their documents and reapplying as soon as possible. In fact, I've even seen people immediately doing a CSE and reopening a rejected application? Can you please give me some link that talks about a "cool period" between two successive eAPRs if I get an ITA immediately after rejection?

If you PR application gets rejected it will probably be for reasons other than the provincial nomination. So it will probably not change even with NSNP nomination. In fact, if you get AOR of NS while your PR is in process or unsuccessful, then you might be in some trouble. The NS guys ask you whether you have applied for PR before (to check what location you had opted for) as well as if you have nomination from another province. In both these questions you are cornered.

I'm only talking about rejection for technical reasons such as some documentation problem. I'm sure I satisfy eligibility, security, criminality and other checks. After AOR, where will NS guys ask me about "whether I've applied for PR before", because we are not filling any other application? The AOR was for application sent 8 months ago, isn't it? I think I don't understand what you're saying here at all.

I hope you get your PR application approved and then you can just withdraw your NSNP application when you get AOR from them. That will be the best way for you.

Yes, thats my hope and Plan A, too!

What kind of docs did cic asked for? Also, when they send aor, do they send the msg in cic account or our personal emails?

CIC asked for (copying and pasting CIC request for documents message):


* IELTS: Original IELTS language proficiency results
-> On-line score report and photocopies are not acceptable (Don't understand why they asked again... I scanned the original again, uploaded to myCIC account and they just accepted)

* Schedule 4 - Prov Nominees: A newly completed Schedule 4 Economic Classes - Provincial
Nominees form (Have no idea why they asked again as I have correctly filled this one when doing the PR application via myCIC)

* Schedule 4A- Prov Nominee: A newly completed Schedule 4A - Economic Classes - Provincial
Nominees - Business Nominees form (Also have no idea why as I have correctly filled this one too when doing the initial PR application via myCIC)

When *CIC* sends AOR, they send through myCIC account. When *NS Office of Immigration* send me anything, they sent to my personal e-mail address that I put on my application.

Btw, I received the AOR from CIC on the same day I did the PR application for CIC.

Thanks a lot victor.....that was really of immens. I wish you get your PR soon and your patience of waiting ends.
Good luck.
Best wishes.

Hi victorhora,

Guess you have waited enough .. you will hear something good this month for sure... as you are about to exhaust 6 months sla now ..

good luck.

Kind Regards
Poonam

Thanks for the positive thoughts mate

I heard other cases where people are over the 6 month "SLA" so, I'm not 100% confident (although I try to always be positive! ) of CIC asking the passports this month.

I'm anxious but ok, as I imagine I have gone through the worst of it (actually being "good" and lucky enough to get nominated for a province)...

Maybe because I'm from Brazil, the background check takes longer... Everything that depends on public service in this country takes forever to happen. Other than that we have too many criminals and corrupts in this country (that's why I'm running from it ), so CIC needs to be 100% sure I'm not one of them

I'll let you guys know if I get some update this month.

Cheers,
Victor.
