The numbers of permanent residents who were admitted to Canada through provincial programs keeps increasing day by day. Many provinces are aligning their provincial programs with Express Entry, which allows them to pick and process qualified candidates directly from the federal Express Entry pool.
Nova Scotia is only one of many provinces which almost doubled their immigration level since last year. This means that a lot of economic immigrants who do not score enough points under federal programs, may apply under provincial programs and receive additional 600 points for their nomination. Provincial programs are selecting narrower range of professions that are aligned with provincial labor needs, but they usually have lower requirements for such factors like age, language and education, which allows higher number of candidates to qualify.
