The Canadian province of Nova Scotia uses the PNP points calculator to select required applicants with the right skills, education, and work experience that the province needs. Out of the 10 streams under Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP), only two have a PNP points system to assess candidates. These streams are: Entrepreneur, and International Graduate Entrepreneur. How NSNP allots the score will be discussed in this blog.
