    Nova Scotia Nominee Program has now a stream for physicians

    Good news in Atlantic Canada! The province of Nova Scotia has just launched a new stream under its provincial nominee program. The new NSNP Physician Stream will help the public health authorities to bring foreign qualified physicians to work in the province.

And only general practitioners and family physicians (NOC 3112) and specialist physicians (NOC 3111) with signed approved opportunities with NSHA or IWK can apply.

    Also, the letter of approval must contain: dated signature of an authorized person to hire physicians at the NSHA or IWK; dated signature of the applicant who is accepting the opportunity; an indication of eligibility for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia; and an indication of eligibility for the applicant to apply for privileges and credentials with NSHA and the IWK.

First, the candidate applies for the stream. After, Nova Scotia Office of Immigration verify the documents and, if the application is accepted, the candidate can apply to the Government of Canada for a permanent resident visa. But is important to know that being nominated by Nova Scotia does not guarantee that the federal government will approve the permanent residency application.
