French-speaking Express Entry candidates invited by Nova Scotia
On April 27, 2020, Nova Scotia invited
Express Entry candidates to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent
residence in Canada via its Labour Market Priorities Stream.
This new draw goals Express Entry
candidates who have selected French as their first official language and have
an 8 or higher Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) score in all language skills
(reading, writing, listening and speaking). In all these language skills, selected
candidates were required to have a CLB score of at least 6 or better in
English, and either a bachelor's degree or a completed program of three years
or more at a university, college, trade or technical school.
Candidates also needed to have a valid Express
Entry number and follow the minimum requirements in order to be accepted
in the pool.
The number of candidates obtaining letters
of interest and the minimum score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
has not yet been confirmed. The CRS score determines the rank of a candidate in the Express Entry pool, and is
based, among many factors such as age, education, skilled work experience
and English or French skills.
Express Entry candidates with a provincial
nomination earn a further 600 points against their CRS score, essentially
ensuring an invitation to apply for permanent residency in Canada. Candidates
which received a letter of interest in the latest draw will have 60
calendar days to submit a complete application to the Nova Scotia Nominee Program
(NSNP) and are needed to include copies of the results of their language tests
as well as proof of education.
The Labour Market Priorities Stream enables
the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) to quest for eligible candidates meeting
the province's labour market demands in such Express Entry draw. The stream has
conducted 10 draws, including this one, since its launch in 2018, and has
welcomed early childhood educators, financial auditors, accountants, social
workers, and nurses, among other professionals.
