11 Name of Report/Article: The Developing Workforce Problem in Nova Scotia and Canada Organization: Canmac Economics Ltd (Dr. J.D. McNiven) Date of Report/Article: 2009 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS Nova Scotia will run out of available labour force in less than 7 years (2016) There are only three generic ways to fill the labour gap Immigration Participation rate increases (Freedom 75) Productivity increases doing more with the same or less people ` Only major source of additional labour is retaining older workers Some Modest Policy Thoughts were Suggested Provide universal day care in the public schools by lowering the school age to 2 years or less. Helps free up mothers for the workforce and provides service in rural areas Raise the school leaving age to 18 to keep kids from dropping out early and taking jobs OR conversely, eliminate the leaving age Provide comprehensive internet-based high school and system for parttime education. GED becomes the norm Provide universal post-secondary education through a combination of global on-line course material and local tutors and trades trainers Eliminate skill certifications for jobs where they are not necessary or for experienced workers

12 Name of Report/Article: Expanding the Vision: Why Nova Scotia should Look Beyond Econocentric Immigration Policy Organization: Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives Date of Report/Article: May 2014 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS If Immigration is truly a solution to a problem in Nova Scotia, then the province must invest in immigration - The provincial government should hire more staff and allocate greater resources for the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration - These resources should be used to provide potential immigrants with realistic information opportunities and constraints around employment, cultural integration and developing social networks - The NSOI should generate comprehensive and accessible data and evaluative mechanisms that can be used by settlement organizations, academic researchers and potential immigrants - Like Manitoba, the province can request an oversampling of surveys dealing with immigration and rural issues to allow for meaningful analysis - The province should invest in creating formal liaison mechanisms with settlement organizations, potential employers and universities to facilitate greater integration into the Nova Scotia labour market - The province should invest in promotion the value and importance of immigrants to NS, particularly in rural areas where support for immigration is mixed and most needed

13 Refocus the Nova Scotia Nominee Program to include immigrants who are not prioritized under federal immigration programs and/or immigration categories common to other provinces - Nova Scotia should identify immigrants that are currently missed in the system in order to offer a competitive advantage when recruiting and retaining immigrants - Create a NS experience stream that serves to transition temporary migrants, such as temporary foreign workers and international students, into permanent residents - Invest in follow up mechanisms geared towards encouraging TFW s and international students to apply to become permanent residents Regarding TFW s: NS has come a long way in responding to TFW program shortfalls but the province must make greater strides - The province should invest in tracking human capital mismatches for TFW s and offer opportunities to current residents of NS - Ameliorating vulnerabilities that come with issues such as isolation, and a minimally monitored private sector, are essential to transitioning these migrants into permanent residents - The province could work more closely to coordinate ESDC and CIC to track employees applying for TFW s and tracking their treatment post arrival - The province could advocate to CIC to provide work permits to family members of TFW s - Nova Scotia can do a better job of promoting how TFW s help bolster rural economies and societies Regarding International Students: Ensure that there longer-term supports that include but are not limited to the settlement sector, institutions of higher learning, or the private sector - Provide additional funding to post-secondary education to offer better opportunities for all students, but to also lower international student fee differentials and to assist in transitioning international students to immigration streams - Promote cross-sectoral cooperation for both job searchers and social networking - Ensure immediate access to MSI for international students over the current practice of requiring a residency period

14 - The province could advocate to CIC to provide work permits to family members of international students Be more attentive to gender imbalances in immigration - Reverse the trend of low numbers of women as principal applicants, and create immigration streams that are not solely based on capital/ human capital contributions - This can be done through consciously tracking the proportion of female principal applicants and seeking gender parity in the NSNP - Gender balances can also be promoted by seeking to attract immigrant families rather than individuals Recognize that extended families are anchors and generators of chains of migration - Make it easier for a wider array of family members, including extended relatives, to come and stay in the province thereby making NS more of a home for newcomers and eliminating potential pressures to return to home countries - Attracting families, both immediate and extended, creates an incentive to immigrate to NS - Promoting the migration and unification of TFW s and international students families and not just those of permanent residents, PN s, or refugees Broaden the focus of source countries of immigrants, beyond those that have already been targeted for the federal government and other provinces - Include a wider range of Atlantic countries as source countries, including South America and Africa. This will avoid competition - Avoid associating immigrants from particular countries with a limited range of occupations and thus engaging in racialized, ethnic streaming

15 Act on Premier McNeil s Election promise of establishing and Immigrant Advisory Council - Create an Immigrant Advisory Council that is representative of diverse individuals and groups including immigrants (new and longstanding) settlement service providers, universities, academic researchers, reps from the business community along with public officials from all levels of government including the municipal level of government - The Council should be tasked with keeping track of immigration related issues, promoting research on them. And collecting date on the success and failures of immigration practices here in NS - The Council can also be tasked with promoting immigration and offering a more robust translation of the importance of immigration in renewing NS a key recommendation of the Ivany Report

16 Name of Report/Article: Welcome Home to Nova Scotia: A Strategy for Immigration Organization: Province of NS Date of Report/Article: 2013 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS Champion Nova Scotia s Immigration Needs Increase the number of nomination certificates to 1000 by 2015 and 1500 by 2020 Focus on the Skills we need and the people who will succeed - Unveil a new Workforce Strategy - Expand our partnership with employers to identify and anticipate their workforce needs and address the shortages that exist in identified sectors - Concentrate efforts on immigrants who possess skills needed in high-value, highgrowth industries. - Speed up the approval process for TFW s and expedite the recruitment of groups of international workers in certain circumstances - Extend recruitment efforts through the skilled worker nominee stream to include semi-skilled workers - Attract the people most likely to succeed and stay - Select markets more strategically, focusing on countries and regions where workers have the skills and transferrable credentials to match our workforce needs - Attend international immigration fairs, participate in trade missions and in some cases, mount our own missions in these markets - Encourage employers to join government in planning and attending these missions - Launch a new website

17 - Attract French-speaking newcomers to NS by offering French language materials and a new French website - Participate in Atlantic collaborative marketing campaigns for immigrants - Offer more information sessions about work programs and immigration opportunities at NS universities - Host an annual welcome event for incoming international students attending Nova Scotia universities and college campuses - Expand the Connector Program - Encourage more employers to participate in co-op programs as an effective way for students and new graduates to gain a foothold in the job market Reduce Barriers to working and staying here - Host an annual skills fair in NS where potential immigrants and employers can meet - Provide outreach and workshops and distribute the Employers Guide to Hiring international Skilled Workers - Help to create welcoming workplaces for under-represented groups and ensure businesses benefit from their skills and experience - Recognize credentials (Recognition of Prior Learning Project) Help Entrepreneurs - Use innovative programs like the Agri-Food Pilot Project to attract immigrants who are interested in maintaining or expanding existing farms or developing new ones - Develop programs to attract more immigrant entrepreneurs to NS Note: In 2015, this strategy is to be evaluated and planning to begin for 2020.
