Latest Carpenters Jobs With PR in Canada
Nova Scotia held two draws in September (Sep 4th and 20th) via the NSNP Labour Market Priorities Stream, with one draw targeted at eligible carpenters with a profile in the federal Express Entry pool. The 22 carpenters were invited to apply for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence. They have 30 days to apply for a provincial nomination for PR.
The Labour Market Priorities Stream allows the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) to search the federal Express Entry pool for eligible candidates with work experience in occupations that are facing a shortage of domestic workers.
The federal Express Entry Program is the main tool used by Canada to actively assess and select skilled immigrants under the following federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Class; the Federal Skilled Trades Class; and the Canadian Experience Class. The program holds regular invitation rounds through which a set number of the highest-ranked candidates in the pool are invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
Selected candidates are required to provide letters of reference from employers to demonstrate that they have two or more years of skilled trades experience as a carpenter. Self-employed carpenters have to provide documentation from third parties indicating the service provided, and payment details.
NSNP Labour Market Priorities
