Nova Scotia doesn't publish a score. Here's what it does publish.
There is no NSNP points grid — not for Skilled Worker, not for Express Entry, not for Graduate. So this is an eligibility check against the conditions the province states in its own guides, read 2026-08-21.
Nova Scotia consolidated ten streams into four on 2026-02-18. Its July 2026 submission guides run to dozens of pages and contain no factor table, no point values and no minimum score. Selection runs on labour-market and occupation priorities the province does not quantify publicly.
Every "Nova Scotia PNP points calculator" you will find scores Language 28, Education 25, Experience 15, Age 12, Arranged employment 10 and Adaptability 10, out of 100, passing at 67. That is IRCC's federal Six Selection Factors grid for the Federal Skilled Worker program, with a provincial label on it. It is not Nova Scotia's, and no province's grid can be sourced from IRCC. The full explanation.
So this page checks the other thing — eligibility, which Nova Scotia does publish. Nothing here is stored or sent anywhere.

What a pass here means
Not a nomination, and not a ranking. Meeting every published condition means you are not excluded. Nova Scotia still selects from its pool against priorities it does not publish, and it gives no advance notice of draws.
Eligibility is not scoring. Everywhere else on this site we score you against a grid the province published and say plainly that scoring is not eligibility. Nova Scotia is the reverse: the eligibility is published and the scoring does not exist.
Confirm anything that matters against the province's own pages, and use a licensed RCIC for an assessment. If Nova Scotia ever publishes a grid, a real calculator will appear here.
Official sources
Two governments own two halves of this. The province scores you and nominates; only IRCC can grant permanent residence. Nothing on this site is official — where it disagrees with the pages below, they are right and this is wrong.
IRCC
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
Owns Express Entry, the CRS, and granting permanent residence. It does not publish provincial points grids.
