Provincial Nomine Programs

Provincial Nomine Programs
Provincial governments of Canada offer various immigration programs to recruit skilled workers and immigrants. These programs have small numbers to recruit immigrants, and provincial governments are entitled to make changes to them in order to respond to local labour market needs.
Recently changes have been proposed by Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan provinces. Whereas on the other hand Alberta and British Columbia provinces have place a temporary hold for accepting new applications due to the increased backlog.
Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program:
The provincial Government of Nova Scotia is the first province to increase the allocation of 300 additional spots for its Express Entry stream known as Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry and Nova Scotia Experience: Express Entry. Both streams offered by NSNP are aligned with the Federal program of Express entry to recruit skilled workers.
Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee Program:
The province of Saskatchewan announced to re-open the International Skilled Worker-Occupations in-demand sub-category of SINP with immediate effect. The said category is very popular amongst skilled workers and do not require any job offer.

In order to apply, applicants need to score minimum 60 points out of 100 according to the point grid with benchmark in English language skills and education besides one year of required work experience in the listed occupation.
The province of Alberta has paused the intake of any new application until January 27, 2016 in order to clear the backlog of oversubscribed applications.
