Immigration

Immigrants stimulate economic growth and enrich Canada’s social and cultural life. The Government of Canada recognizes that we all benefit from the talents, experience and energy of immigrants. Skilled workers, business people, refugees, relatives of Canadian citizens and residents, foreign students, temporary workers and others are aided by Canada’s immigration programs through Citizen and Immigration Canada. Through these federal programs, we are building a diverse community of citizens respected throughout the world.

The Government of Canada, in consultation with the province annually establishes a range for the number of immigrants who will be admitted into Canada. On average, 220,778 immigrants and refugees are welcomed to Canada every year.

Come to Live. Build Your Dream.
Nova Scotia has gained a diverse culture and warm reputation through its policies and programs on immigration. The Province has much to offer including beautiful surroundings, economic opportunity and a better quality of life.

We invite you to considering bringing your family and your business to Annapolis Digby:  Our immigration portal is your first point of entry to our beautiful region.  We also welcome you to ask us about investment opportunities available to you now in many sectors including renewable energy (tidal, wind and biomass), retirement living and IT/geomatics. 

Many of our newcomers arrive here first as a tourist, so we developed our Test Drive the Community program.  Through this program, we can help you find short or long-term accommodations and put you in touch with leaders in our business community — just let us know what your particular needs are.

Come to Life.
We encourage you to visit Nova Scotia Come to Life to see all the amazing possibilities in this wonderful province of ours.
