The Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) offers pathways for skilled individuals and entrepreneurs to immigrate to Nova Scotia, addressing the province's labor market needs and promoting economic development.

Through various streams, including the Entrepreneur Stream, applicants can establish or purchase a business in Nova Scotia. Eligibility criteria encompass factors such as business ownership experience, investment capacity, and the intent to actively manage the business. A detailed business plan demonstrating the viability of the proposed venture, its alignment with Nova Scotia's economic priorities, and its potential to create employment opportunities for residents is a pivotal component of the application process.

Successful candidates receive a provincial nomination, which can expedite their application for permanent residency at the federal level.

This program is ideal for entrepreneurs looking to establish or acquire a business in Nova Scotia, leveraging the province’s strategic coastal location, skilled workforce, and supportive business environment to drive long-term economic growth and secure permanent residency.
