Nova Scotia In-Demand Occupation List 2024 (Updated)

The service sector, particularly in the fields of health and education, information technology, and banking, offers plenty of job opportunities in the province of Nova Scotia. However, there are a number of professions in urgent need of qualified people who can both fill the necessary labor gaps and support the developing Nova Scotia Province’s economy.

The National Occupations Classification (NOC) has categorized the jobs on the following list. These professions are now in the highest demand in Nova Scotia. So, if your job fits under one of these categories and you have relevant work experience, you stand a strong chance of being accepted into the Nova Scotia PNP.

Determine a candidate’s skill level with the use of the NOC, a code created for skilled and semi-skilled occupations. Applying for a tough career requires a candidate to have the required academic credentials in addition to one year of work experience
