Nova Scotia introduces new immigration pathway for physicians looking to immigrate to Canada

Nova Scotia has introduced a new Labour Market Priorities immigration stream that focuses on selecting international physicians through Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP). Physicians will be selected from the Federal Express Entry pool and successful applicants will receive a nomination from the province for permanent residence (PR).

This stream assists Nova Scotia’s public health authorities (NSHA) and the Isaak Walton Killam (IWK) Health Centre to hire general practitioners, family physicians, and specialist physicians to work in Nova Scotia. The stream helps the NSHA and IWK to recruit and retain physicians with the required skills for positions that they have not been able to fill with a permanent resident or Canadian citizen.

It is only open to general practitioners and family physicians (NOC 3112) and specialist physicians (NOC 3111) with signed approved opportunities with NSHA or IWK Health Centre. The physician needs to pledge to live and work in Nova Scotia for at least of two years to be eligible for selection through this new stream.

The approved opportunity must be on official NSHA letterhead and must:

• Be signed and dated by a person authorized to hire physicians

• Be signed and dated by the applicant who is accepting the opportunity

• Indicate eligibility for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of NS

• Indicate that the applicant is eligible to apply for privileges and credentials with NSHA

Eligible physicians selected by the NSNP will receive a Letter of Interest (LOI) through the Express Entry system and have 30 days to apply for a provincial nomination from Nova Scotia.
