Is it really that easy to get PR status in Nova Scotia?

"Semi-skilled workers have occupations that fall under the NOC skill level C occupations. The Office of Immigration may consider applications based on local labour market requirement and conditions, and 6 months of work with the Nova Scotia employer supporting the application."

I am currently working as a food counter attendant in Calgary, if I move to Halifax and get a work visa there in the same industry- will I be able to apply for permanent residency after only 6 months?!

You still have to qualify and have an employer willing to sponsor you (harder than it sounds).

There's a reason it's easy in NS. The economy there is awful.

Yes but what does 'qualify' means? Working for 6 months?

You have to meet basic requirements to qualify.
