Nova Scotia draw aims at immigrants with NOC 4214 experience

Nova Scotia in Canada held a fresh draw for immigrants/candidates in Express Entry on 3 June. It targeted candidates with experience in NOC 4214 - Early Childhood Educators and Assistants.

The invitations were offered through the Stream Labour Market Priorities. It permits Nova Scotia to seek candidates in Federal Express Entry pool. This is with qualified work experience in an occupation that is experiencing scarcity of workers in the labour market.

A record number of fresh PR Visa holders were welcomed by the Nova Scotia province in 2018. This was inclusive of several immigrants who arrived through the NSNP - Nova Scotia Nominee Program.

The NSNP permits Nova Scotia to select a fixed number of immigrants for Canada PR Visa annually. This is through 8 streams that are customized to meet the unique economic needs of the province.

Out of the 8 streams, 3 are aligned with the Express Entry system. This system administers the applicants for 3 of the chief economic immigration streams of Canada. These are Federal Skilled Trades Class, the Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Worker Class. 

Candidates in Express Entry who get a nomination from Nova Scotia get 600 points added towards their Comprehensive Ranking System score. This effectively speeds up an ITA for Canada PR for them, as quoted by the CIC News. 

Aspiring immigrants must first create a profile for them in the Express Entry pool. This is for being considered through the Labour Market Priorities Stream of Nova Scotia.

The draw held on June 3 was the second through the LMP stream that targeted candidates in Express Entry with work experience in NOC 4214. The other criteria for selection include:

•    Evidence that the candidate has obtained Post-secondary education in early childhood education for kids aged 0 to 8 years

•    Evidence that the applicant has completed a 2 or more year’s program at a College, University, Technical or Trade school or other institute

•    Reference letters from employers demonstrating proof of at least 5 years of work experience in NOC 4214

•    Must have submitted their profile in Express Entry on or later than 8 August 2018

The LMP stream has been used 4 times after its creation in 2018 August. It has held 2 rounds of invitations for Early Childhood Educators. It has also held one round each for Financial Auditors and Accountants as well as candidates in Express Entry with French as their first official language.
