Jobs in Nova Scotia
Finding quality employment will often be of prime importance for Visas, Residency and a good standard of living.
Many employers will not be aware of how quick and easy it is to employ a foreign worker in the province, so the key to finding employment is to network and contact companies and recruitment agencies who are prepared to follow this route. UK 2 Nova Scotia can help you with this as we partner with some of the premier companies in Halifax and also the largest Recruitment agency in the Province. Our online job board also has current positions from employers who are prepared to apply to Service Canada.
Generally, to be employed in the province, you need a Temporary Work Visa, Residency or Citizenship.
Labour Market Opinion and Temporary Work Visas
As a Non Resident, if you obtain a job offer, the EMPLOYER has to normally apply to Service Canada for a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) in order for a Temporary Work Visa to be issued. If this is issued (timelines vary, but normally within a 4-5 week period), it is up to the potential EMPLOYEE to apply for this visa from CIC (or with correct documentation, fees, a written job offer and LMO, when entering Canada). Open employment visas and study visas can also be applied for at this time.
Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)
Once a LMO is issued, the employee can apply to the NSNP for full residency under the skilled worker stream.
