Good day people,

I am asking this question on behalf of a friend who got this response from Nova Scotia after sending his financial details after they requested for an update :

Dear xxxxxxxxxxx,



We do not consider applicants’ real estate when determining their available funds. That is detailed on page 13 of our application guide for Nova Scotia Demand.



Also, I cannot consider your wife’s business account funds because I cannot determine how much would be available for your immigration.



The minimum required funds for Nova Scotia Demand for a family of 3 is $18,260 CDN.



Your bank account balance was 375,483 NGN on 09 OCT 2015, which equals $2,480 CDN.










































































































































I am not satisfied that you meet the minimum funds requirement.


*The person got this yesterday. He now has more than the expected money in his account. Can he still submit the bank statements that contains the full money after this correspondence from the nomination officer?
pls tell ur friend to resubmit the statement as soon as possible. From ur post u are from Nigeria.

Yes from Nigeria. He already plans to do that tomorrow. Just wanted to be sure if that was not a final refusal letter or not. Thanks

if the letter did not mention anything about refusal that means he/she still have the chance.
write to the officer every explanation necessary about all the valuable assets he/she has to be able to survive in NS. make sure all assets are in liquid CAD aka cash or equivalent.
house, jewelry, diamonds, etc are not cash, you must ask someone (lawyers, bank, etc) to value those assets as cash value.
good luck ;D

Hi Gerly,

Already in NS. Congratulations and welcome onboard. PM if you need any info on the ground. Would be glad to help you out navigating the ins and outs of Halifax NS as I have been in Halifax for 7 yrs now where I was with a study permit visa and following that a working visa. Only recently got a PR through NSPNP.

Websphereguy. I may need to get some tips from you. I am relocating in Jan 2016. I've lived in the US for over 14 years. I'll be driving 20+ hrs from IL , USA. I have started applying for jobs. Do you know any good job agencies and headhunters?

I am a Mechanical Engineer and also a PMP certified Project Manager. I'm also six sigma certified (both DMEDI and DMAIC). Any hints will help

I have applied in oct 2014 in skilled worker. When u ppl think i will get approval?
This thread is for PNP. So at which stage did you apply? Nomination or post nomination? Post-nomination means you'd have your nomination letter from the province and then you've submitted your actual PR application to the federal.

So which is it?

Hi Inioluwa,

Should be in contact with ISANS (Immigration Services Association of Nova Scotia). They'll help you with the necessary.
Here's their website, http://www.isans.ca

Since you're outside of Canada, go over to here to register https://novascotiastart.ca/cgi-bin/form.cgi?lang=english

Now for the benefit of others reading this, this is only meant for those who have confirm receiving there permanent residency status.

All the best.

...

I am also extending this. For accommodation, will you be coming on your own or with a family? How big a family? What's your budget? A note of advice is to inform your current landlord (if you rent) you would like them to be your reference for your future Canadian landlord. If you own a home, you probably get someone from the bank to vouch for you that you consistently paid your mortgage.

The following link shows how the job market for EE is in Halifax,
