There are many reasons for choosing Nova Scotia as an immigration destination.

Nova Scotia is one of Canada鈥檚 Maritime provinces and is located on the east coast. The province is known for its spectacular rocky landscapes, seascapes, and beautiful wilderness.

It is now also supported by trade, new technologies, and tourism鈥攁n industry fueled by visitors from cruise ships passing through the port of Halifax, the capital.
