Nominee Certificates Issued by Stream

The Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration (LSI) issues nomination certificates to prospective immigrants who meet a labour market need and who will make a contribution to Nova Scotia’s economy. Nominees then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for a permanent resident visa.

Certificates are issued in particular streams of the Nominee Program, and each stream has different eligibility criteria. Over time, streams may close as new streams are developed. This dataset provides the number of certificates issued annually by the streams under which the nomination was made.

See https://novascotiaimmigration.com/move-here/ for information on current streams.

The maximum number of nomination certificates that LSI may issue annually through the Nova Scotia Nominee Program is determined by the federal government.
