Progress on Action Plan:
- Nova Scotia Nominee Program operational in April 2003
- Web site available April 2003.
- Initial promotion through Immigration team Canada Europe March 2003
- Regional visits throughout Nova Scotia in partnership with Regional Development Authorities are scheduled for summer of 2003.
- The Department of Education will continue discussions with Citizenship and Immigration Canada to finalize negotiations on a new Framework Agreement. This Agreement will more clearly define roles and responsibilities between the federal and provincial governments, facilitate closer collaboration in the development of immigration policies appropriate to the province's needs, and will support joint planning efforts to meet immigrant settlement needs in Nova Scotia.
- The Department of Education will be working with the Metropolitan Immigration Settlement Association (MISA) to undertake a feasibility study to assess the need for a credential recognition service to support immigrants' access to the labour market and post-secondary education system. (In conjunction with Higher Education and Skills and Learning)
- Support continuing for the Immigrant Entrepreneur Orientation Program (IEOP) through the Metropolitan Immigrant Settlement Association (MISA) co-funded by NSED and ACOA.
