Another family has achieved their Canadian dream of becoming Permanent Residents. This was done via the then Nova Scotia Critical Construction Worker Pilot (a non Express Entry stream).
Express Entry isn’t the only way to get Canadian permanent residence, especially if you are already in Canada as a temporary resident.
The Critical Construction Worker Pilot is still available in the Nova Scotia PNP program, but it is no longer a standalone NSNP stream.
As of February 18, 2026, Nova Scotia consolidated its previous 10 immigration streams into 4 streams.
The Critical Construction Worker Pilot was moved under the new Skilled Worker Stream as the “Construction” sub-criteria.
The eligibility requirements remain the same.
