FRESH START WITH NOVA SCOTIA

[fobie1]

After being burnt in my zealous quest to relocate to a french-speaking province of Canada - namely Quebec - for lack of adequate points, I have returned from my 4 month hibernation stint to give it another go. 

Destination: Nova Scotia (francophone parts) 
Area: Community Identified Stream

The question is:

How does one obtain a 'Letter of Identification' from an 'Office of Immigration mandated organisation', to jump-start the process?

Any constructive suggestions will be much appreciated.

And good luck to everyone else.

The list of mandated organizations is in appendix 3 of the following document:

To obtain the letter, you must have "long established community connections" to a community in Nova Scotia. Are you already living there?

Just to explain my "are you living there" question a bit further...

It's always been my understanding that the Community Identified Stream is for those who either are living or have lived in a specific community in Nova Scotia and can demonstrate strong ties to that specific community.

If you have never lived in Nova Scotia, then I don't believe you qualify for this immigration program.

Again, that's always been my understanding. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong...
