The new Labour Market Priorities Stream draw conducted by the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) on December 5th invited Express Entry candidates with work experience as social and community service workers. The occupation of the invited candidates comes under National Occupation Classification (NOC) 4212-Social and Community Service Workers.
The Labour Market Priorities Stream allows NSNP to select candidates with specific work experience from the federal Express Entry pool and invite them to apply for provincial nomination. The draw held on December 5th is the sixth Labour Market Priorities Stream draw to be held in 2019. In the previous draws, NSNP invited Express Entry candidates with work experience as nurses, carpenters, financial auditors and accountants.
The Express Entry candidates who are invited through the Labour Market Priorities Stream and receive provincial nomination will have 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score points added to their total CRS score and that ensures an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the subsequent federal Express Entry draw.
