Find work in Nova Scotia
Fill in one short form. We call you about the jobs that fit, and you decide which ones to go for.
What you can count on
- You never pay us. In Nova Scotia nobody is allowed to charge a worker a fee for finding them a job, and that includes us. Employers pay our fee.
- Before you say yes, we tell you the pay, the hours, where the job is and how long it lasts.
- We tell you who your employer is: us, if you are on a temporary assignment, or the business itself, if they hire you directly.
- Before we put you forward, we look at the document that shows you can work in Canada. We never keep your passport, work permit or other ID.
- We only send your details to an employer after you agree to that job.
- If you work in Canada on a work permit, tell us when we call. Nova Scotia has extra rules for recruiting permit holders, and we will tell you straight whether we can help. Questions about your work permit or other immigration matters go to our lawyer, who handles immigration services for our workers.
