Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)
Bright Path Immigration Consultants
The Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) is administered by the province of Nova Scotia and seeks to nominate applicants who are able to fulfill the gaps in the economy.
Thousands of qualified Temporary Visa holders enjoy employment in Canada with hopes of obtaining permanent status to better the lives of themselves and their families and through such a program their dreams can be realized. You may be next.
Nominee applicants and their families are granted accelerated processing of their Permanent Residency applications. The NSNP offers an array of categories for individual and families to permanently settle in Nova Scotia.
Due to the immense interest this program garners the application process is extremely competitive. One certainly can’t afford to have their life’s dream jolted due to incorrectly filled and submitted paper work. It is for just such a reason why employing an immigration professional comes so highly recommended.
The province is composed of the Nova Scotia peninsula, Cape Breton Island, and over 3,000 smaller islands. Its capital city, Halifax, is known as a major Center for culture and the arts, as well as for its high standard of living. Nova Scotians are closely connected to the sea, and the province is renowned for its coastal beauty and delicious cuisine.
