Your real odds
Whether you benefit depends entirely on whether you qualify as an eligible investor in an approved fund, not on a competitive application process.
This is a tax credit claimed at filing, and no approval rate or fund availability data appears on the funder page, so verify which funds currently qualify directly with Nova Scotia Finance and Treasury Board.

Worth knowing
The credit is non-refundable, meaning it can reduce your Nova Scotia tax payable to zero but will not generate a refund, so you need sufficient provincial tax owing to benefit fully.
