OH MY GOD! I can't believe it. Please people, we should call to NSOI to ask about what will happen with the rest of applications?? It's unfair. We should call them and let their know about our complaints and also call to Government of Nova Scotia to make pressure about this issue.

Hello guys

I want to share with you all what I found on Nova Scotia Immigration's facebook. Here is a comment from a person who called to NSOI:

Harman Singh
@Kirandeep Brar and Badal Love. When I spoke to the Lady from the NSNP, I discussed with her many things. I told her that it has been more than 5 months and we have absoultely no updates. I told her that preparing an application and arranging all those documents that you want takes a lot of time and efforts. We prepared applications and send to you but we do not have any acknowledgment of whether you have even received our applications or not. If you are assessing applications you receieved in the middle of march and 100 are already selected then it means that applications that you received after 25th march and whole of april will not be even touched and returned to the applicants because 50 nominees will be selected before those applications. And it has been more than 5 months now. I do not know why they accepted more than 3000 applications when they wanted only 150. Even 1500 application were enough for them. I think that I will have to address this thing to the Canadian Immigration minister. And I have the email and mail address.

Also we should not deny one thing. On March 28th itself Nova scotia immigration office mentioned in their web site that "NS has got enough application for processing, if anybody applying after that are applying on their own risk" and they accepted application till april 28. At that time they were in a decision that they can keep the applications for next year and later they changed it. for that also they are having a valid reason, that in application guide itself they have mentioned that "criteria and decisions are subject to change".

So they are clear in their side. even if we send mails to anybody will not work out. it is my thought :).

Anyway, they can keep applications till new criteria will be identified, and only after that return only those applications which are not fit to new requirements.

1) Do I need to submit educational assessment report?
If you have the WES report it will be ok send it with any proof of graduation ..

2) Is education transcripts mandatory to submit?
They are mentioned in thier Guide ( Page 19 last thing ): ((You must provide a copy of all certification and training obtained by the principal applicant and spouse, common-law or conjugal partner and dependants aged 22 or older)) they need certification not transcript

3) Can I Type and print my settlement plan in a separate paper similar to Settlement Template(Appendix 3 – Employment and Settlement Plan)?.

Off course yes and highly recommended ..

4)Do I need to submit medical & police clearance at the first stage of application?

Medical No need now and Police clearance: if you and any of your family members offended see the same guide page 19 : Police certificates, if the applicant or any dependent family member age 18 or older has committed an offence, has been charged or been convicted of a crime. Please provide a copy of the police report from the country or countries where the offence(s) occurred. In addition to the police certificate, submit any proof of rehabilitation or pardon.

5)My education & employment is in english? Do i need take Ielts? if IELTS is not required, In what way/document i can submit that i have done my education in english?

If you have IELTS OK put If no , I don't know ?

If this is true, then, the point is: Why they accepted so many applications?? I agree in the part where it says "criteria an decisions are subject to change", but never said about how they would process all applications. If NSOI had over 500 applications they would have stopped the program and don't accept more applications. It's illogical to accept more than 3000 applications to nominate only 150 people. If they accepted more than 3000 applications because they would open all applications and select the best ones. It sounds logical. Anyway, however this program is a gibe. I don't understand why NSOI isn't doing a professional job if they as Canadian people wants the perfect people to be accepted in their country.

I am disappointed with this program, but I am going to send an email to Canadian Immigration Minister.
