Urgent question?
Is it necessary to have a job offer from nova scotia to be able to apply for such a province,the same for other provinces?

NOT AT ALL MANDATORY. It is just you get points if you have one.

:

yes, there were 350 nominations available in NS Demand EE category but recently it has raised more. Unfortunately i dont know the exact number. I would suggest you to apply as soon as possible because there is no processing fee. In addition, all the applications will remain in queue for the next year. On the other hands, it is said that next year the process will be in online. However, i have not got any link yet to support this claim. Just keep ready all of your documents, if it launch online system then apply again.
thank you

Hi guys

Applied for NSNP some time in March,2015.

They require an explanation for the below question-

3 (b) I will, also, require to know where on their federal application they indicated they intended to settle. IF, it was not in Nova Scotia, I require an explanation from each applicant why they have now decided to settle in Nova Scotia rather than their original destination

As I had applied for Federal Skilled Worker- 2014(My application reached after NOC hit the limit) but on one of the forms for a question- where do you in intend to live in Canada? i chose Ontario.

But at the time I was not aware of NSNP or any other province, so went with popular one.

Requesting for help to come up with a good defense for the question.

Thanks in advance.

That was a common reason for rejection some months ago. Besides stating your reasons, it would be good if you provided some more elaborate proof, such as job research and applications in NS, research on communities, friends or even acquaintances you might have there, or even some very specific reasons to prefer NS over Ontario, and not only things such as "I love seafood". Try to provide the most evidences you can find, as they want to be sure that you're not using Nova Scotia as a bridge to enter Canada.

By the way, if you haven't registered to the spreadsheet, we'd be glad if you do so. The links are on my signature.

Thanks a lot for the reply Skywalker.

But all the information with respect to Intent to Settle in Nova Scotia is justified in Settlement plan right?

Already included all the details such as the job opportunities, Communities etc

Can you suggest some ways to make my case stronger.

Please add me on the spreadsheet.

If you have already mentioned the "technical" part, maybe you need to go for the "sentimental". You can go with the excuse of not knowing Nova Scotia by the time of the FSW application, as you said, but try also to be clear that you have chosen Ontario because you still hadn't made your mind about any specific province. In other words, that it was a rushed decision to meet the deadline, and you could have chosen any other province, because you didn't know Canada very well (assuming that you really didn't). Then, you may try to make a comparison between Ontario and Nova Scotia, showing that you prefer a smaller place, with a less rushed lifestyle, that you like living by the sea, things like that. I don't know if it will work, but you have to try, as it seems that the officer is directly asking you why you have changed your mind. You should being by answering his/her question!

As for the spreadsheet, you have to do that by yourself. Just click on the "entry form" link, and fill all fields that you can (except for those related to nomination, ITA, etc).
