# Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP): Streams & Eligibility

**Quick answer:** The Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) selects skilled workers, Express Entry candidates who match labour market priorities, physicians, and graduates or entrepreneurs. Express Entry-linked nominations add 600 CRS points.

The Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) is Nova Scotia's provincial immigration program that selects skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international graduates to settle and contribute to the province's economy. Nova Scotia is a vibrant Atlantic province with a growing demand for skilled labour across numerous industries.

The NSNP offers several streams including the Nova Scotia Labour Market Priorities stream, the Skilled Worker stream, the Entrepreneur stream, the International Graduate Entrepreneur stream, and the Physician stream. Each stream has specific eligibility criteria tailored to the needs of the province.

The Labour Market Priorities stream is aligned with the federal Express Entry system and allows Nova Scotia to directly target and nominate candidates from the Express Entry pool whose skills are in high demand in the province. A provincial nomination through this stream adds 600 CRS points to a candidate's profile.

Nova Scotia also participates in the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), providing an additional pathway for skilled workers and international graduates who have a job offer from a designated employer in the province. Applicants are encouraged to research the specific requirements of each stream and seek professional advice if needed.
