NOVA SCOTIA Provincial Nominee Program January 2015

[victorhora]

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.

No worries mate. Feel free to ask anything else... I know how it feels to be on your shoes. I guess like everyone here, I dreamed of moving to Canada for a long time (I would say over 5 years ago)... I could say it took me in total 3 long years of hard work towards meeting the minimum requirements to finally get a nomination... Still I know I was also lucky and I'm really grateful for that

I hope you get your nomination soon!

Cheers,
Victor.

Btw, The Nova Scotia office of Immigration (NOT CIC!) asked for the additional information below before sending the ITA for NSNP EE. I thought this info might help someone here


1. Notify/confirm the NOC under which I was applying (although I had already filled the NOC on the NSNP application)

2. Provide third party evidence that the job duties match those in the lead statement and main duties under that NOC through a letter of reference from the employer. Had to submit a letter of reference from the employer stating the job duties, not just the job title. I was advised to follow the NSDEE Application Guide which suggests a signed letter written on company letterhead, showing company’s full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website address describing the specific period of my employment with the positions held during the period of employment and time spent in each position, main responsibilities and duties in each position, annual salary plus benefits in each position, and the number of hours worked per week in each position.

---> This could be hard to get within the tight deadline immi puts for you for all the companies you worked... Luckily enough I was a close friend to the company CEO I worked for the past 9 years and was able to come up with this in a week... I strongly recommend to anyone wishing to apply to any kind (or country) of immigration to come up with this sort of document in ADVANCE!... Otherwise you might get in trouble and loose your nomination!

3. Provide an up-to-date statement of the funds. The document provided in the beginning of 2015 proved funds just below the lower limit for a family of two immigrating to Canada through Express Entry. (Thanks to the huge decline of Brazilian currency over dollars). Something to always be aware! )

4. I have stated on my application that I was intending to visit Halifax and I was asked if I have I done so and to provide evidence, and if not why not. My answer was basically that I didn't want to lower even more the funds I needed for immigration.

5. I was asked who mailed my application (a courrier company did) as the return address was not the address listed on the NSNP 100 form.

I was given only 3 weeks to sort out all of that... so you need to be really prepared and quick...

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.

Well, I'm also from Brazil and it is also taking long time. I uploaded the requested American PCC check in October but I haven't had any news since then... Waiting...

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?

I am not talking about missing or incorrect documents where they usually return an application as incomplete or ask you to provide additional documents. They usually don't reject an application outright for those reasons. However, they reject an application when they find that some information provided may be false. In case of misrepresentation, I think one is banned from reapplying for 5 years. That is the cooldown period I am talking about.

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.

NSNP asks about previous PR and Nomination applications during the Pre-AOR, AOR phases or additional document phases and they often ask you to explain why you chose NS for immigration.

This wait is a pain

My advice to you is to check on which visa office your file is currently in. You can do this by sending enquiry mail to CPC Ottawa or your local visa office, i also recommed you to order a GCMS notes as your file has passed 6 months

added your case in spreadsheet.........

please suggest

When did you sended your application to nova scotia? Since, they take approx 9 months, so accordingly you have ample time to recreate your express entry profile with new IELTS details. Once it is done, you can send you EE profile number by email to nova scotia i.e. nsnp@novascotia.ca

No and obviously, no. You cannot have more than one active EE profile at a time.

Thank you for answering. Can I apply for 2 PNPs using the same EE Profile Number ? Is that possible ?

Hello

I have applied to Nova Scotia EE PNP program in December. I have applied to the NOC of 2171 for which I have enough experience.
I have completed my education in Bachelor of Engineering in Instrumentation Major.
As per SINP, you need to have at least one year of job experience from your higher education.
Suppose in my case if i have done Bachelor of Engineering in Instrumentation Major, I need to Work Experience Related to Instrumentation Engineering.

Is there any similar case for NSPN, where you need to have Job experience related to your higher education (Bachelors/Masters) ?

Regards
