The Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry Category B stream opened on May 8, 2017, to accept 250 new applications. However, the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) stream paused after opening due to some technical error. It is expected to re-open soon at any point of time this year; however, exact dates of opening have not been confirmed by the Provincial government as of now.
Furthermore, if you are one of the foreign skilled workers that fall into the Nova Scotia targeted occupations, you might like to make Express Entry profile now. Make sure that you have the Express Entry Profile Number and Job Seeker Validation Code. So that once it reopens, you are already prepared and can submit immediately your NSNP application online.
