The Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration (LSI) issues nomination certificates to prospective immigrants who meet a labour market need and who will make a contribution to Nova Scotia’s economy. Nominees then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for a permanent resident visa.

Nominees must generally be between the ages of 21 to 55 at time of application, but the LSI reserves the right to waive this criteria in exceptional circumstances. This dataset provides the number of certificates issued annually by age range.

The maximum number of certificates that LSI may issue annually through the Nova Scotia Nominee Program is determined by the federal government.
