The International Graduates in Demand stream of Nova Scotia’s Provincial Nominee Program is expanding to include paramedics and pharmacy technicians. Adding these occupations to this immigration pathway supports Nova Scotia’s recruitment efforts for healthcare professionals.
“Paramedics and pharmacy technicians play crucial roles in our healthcare system, and we need more of them,” said Health and Wellness Minister Michelle Thompson. “Access to this immigration stream helps people who have grown to love our province while completing their training stay here and provide care for Nova Scotians who need it.”
This stream helps build the workforce for occupations that are in demand. It allows international students who have graduated from a public or private post-secondary institution in Nova Scotia to apply for a work permit and permanent residency in Canada before gaining work experience. This pathway is currently open to nurse aides, orderlies, patient service associates, continuing care assistants and early childhood educators.
