• How to migrate to Nova Scotia 2021

The pandemic caused a huge drift in the economy in 2020. However, Canada's most rapidly progressing province, Nova Scotia, approved a total of 3517 immigration applications even during such a crisis. This was much more than the allocated numbers set for 2020 and a majority of the skilled workers under this category belonged to the healthcare sector. 

In Canada, immigration is one of the key driving factors of the economy. The most popular Nova Scotia Immigration programs in 2020 were the AIP (Atlantic Immigration Program) and NSNP( Nova Scotia Nominee Program).

CIC Speaks

"Immigration will play an important role in our economy as we recover from this pandemic,” Diab said to the press. “We will continue to work with our stakeholders to identify labour needs in key essential service sectors and employers who need specialized skills and talent to create economic growth.” This signified a major improvement in the immigration reforms for the upcoming year.
