Nova Scotia Invites Registered Nurses in its Latest PNP Draw

The province of Nova Scotia has issued Letters of Interest to registered nurses for a provincial nomination with profiles in the Express Entry system in its latest PNP draw, which was held on May 22, 2020. Nursing candidates who have received the invitation in yesterday’s draw had selected registered nurse (NOC 3012) as their primary occupation while creating their express entry profile. The selected applicants are now eligible to submit an official application for Canada permanent residence through the Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program.

 

Though, the province has released the details of the eligibility criteria for the draw, it has not yet disclosed the number of applicants who have received the letter of interest. 

 

To be eligible for the May 22nd draw, the following requirements must be met:
