Nova Scotia Program Updates, released by Nova Scotia on 28 November 2025
 

Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Provincial News Bulletin from the province of Nova Scotia. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario.
 
 Nova Scotia Program Updates -Processing Policy: Expression of Interest
 
 November 28, 2025
 
 Nova Scotia is formalizing an expression of interest (EOI) process for all streams of the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) and for Designations and Endorsements under the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP).
 
 This important step will bring clarity and predictability to both applicants and employers, while ensuring the Province can respond to changing labour market needs and support sustainable, long-term community growth.
 
 The EOI model is widely used across immigration systems in Canada. It enables Nova Scotia to identify and invite submissions that best align with the province's evolving economic priorities, at the discretion of the department of Labour, Skills and Immigration (LSI). These priorities could include sectors such as healthcare, construction and trades, STEM, natural resources and manufacturing, along with broader community and workforce needs.
 
 How NS EOI process works: NSNP and AIP
 Submit your expression of interest:
 Candidates (NSNP) and employers (AIP) will continue to submit full applications. These submissions are treated as EOIs and entered into an EOI pool.
 
 Draws for processing:
 Nova Scotia will conduct periodic draws to select EOIs for processing. Factors that may guide selection include provincial priorities, remaining allocation, EOI pool volume, and program integrity considerations.
 
 If selected:
 You will receive direct communication from department confirming your submission has been chosen for processing. Being selected means your submission aligns with current priorities. It does not guarantee approval.
 
 If not selected:
 Your submission remains in the EOI pool. If you do not receive communication, your status has not changed.
