Whilst in NS you should have taken it upon yourself to make personal contact with potential line managers.

Don't speak to HR, don't answer the 'Help Wanted' ads...begin building a network of potentially useful contacts of those who are at a similar level to yourself and have an ear close to the ground.

Doing that at least half a dozen times will show CoRDA that you mean business. But don't try and BS Margot, she's a very sharp and well connected lady

I am an accountant so my contacts would be of no use to you but wishing you luck.

Just thought I'd send you a reply to say "good luck" though.

The Community Identified stream of the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) is aimed at selecting individuals who have long established connections to a Nova Scotia community, wish to live there permanently, and are employable and can contribute to the labour market and economy of that specific community.

One visit is hardly long established in my eyes, perhaps it is just as well that I am not an immigration officer!
