Appendix 1: Opportunity occupations in Nova Scotia

The following occupation list represents professions where there may be employment opportunities in Nova
Scotia. The occupations are classified with National Occupational Classification 2011 (NOC). The NOC helps
determine whether a job meets the skill levels established for skilled and semi-skilled occupations, and whether
the candidate’s qualifications and experience match the requirements of the job. The NOC Matrix provides an
overview of the entire occupational classification structure based on skill levels and skill types. For more
information visit: http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/Matrix.aspx.

In your application to NSOI you will need to demonstrate that you completed duties set out in the lead statements
of the occupation description in the NOC 2011, including all of the essential duties and most of the main duties
listed. If you do not show that your experience meets the description in the NOC 2011, we will refuse your
application.
NSOI reserves both the right to consider only certain types of jobs and occupations for nomination and to limit
those occupations that are eligible for the Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry stream or to target specific
occupations, groups of occupations, occupations in specific industries or occupations in specific sectors of the
economy. The NSOI reserves the right to modify this occupation list at its discretion, at any time.
