WHAT STEPS SHOULD YOU TAKE?
Step 1: Find an Approved Opportunity
- General practitioner and family physician (NOC 31102)
- Specialists in clinical and laboratory medicine (NOC 31100)
- Specialists in surgery (NOC 31101)
- Police investigators and other investigative occupations (NOC 41310)
You must provide a copy of a signed Return for Service Agreement with the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness indicating commitment to live and work in Nova Scotia for a minimum period of two (2) years.
Step 2: Create Express Entry Profile
In order to be invited to apply under Nova Scotia Labour Market Priorities for Physicians Stream, you must create an Express Entry Profile (➨page) for yourself. Within your Express Entry profile make sure you have stated an interest in immigrating permanently to Nova Scotia.
Since you are eligible under one of the two (2) federal economic immigration programs (Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class), you will be accepted into the pool of candidates.
Candidates must receive by email a Notification of Interest letter (request to submit an application to apply to the program). If the NSNP does not ask you to submit an application, you are not eligible for consideration under this stream.

When you accept a nomination, you are awarded 600 additional points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) (➨page). This will help you quickly get invited to apply for permanent residence through your Express Entry profile.
Step 4: Apply for Permanent Residence
You can only apply for permanent residence (➨page) through Express Entry if you’ve received an invitation to apply.
Your Express Entry invitation to apply is valid for sixty (60) days only.
Apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit (if applicable)
For those of you who are in Nova Scotia on a valid work permit, once you submit your complete PR application, you may apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) (➨page). This will let you continue working on a valid work permit until your PR application is finalized.
Step 5: Landing in Canada
If your application is approved, you will be asked to pay your right of permanent residence fee if you haven’t already done so. You will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) and if you are from a country that requires a visa you will also be issued a permanent resident visa.
You will only become a Permanent Resident of Canada when you cross a Canadian port of entry. This is referred to as ‘landing in Canada’ (➨page).
You must land in Canada before the expiry date, which appears on your Canada Immigration Visa. Usually, the expiry date is one (1) year from the time medical examinations were completed. As this is not always the case, be sure to verify the expiry date as soon as the Canada Immigration Visa is received.
