Entrepreneur -
Start or buy a business in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is certainly a province full of opportunities and for the first time a Provincial emigration stream which allows suitable Entrepreneurs to either set up or buy a business is available which can also facilitate both temporary and full residency visas.

The new Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) Entrepreneur stream is due for launch late spring 2008. This will enable Entrepreneurs to expedite their move to Nova Scotia in conjunction with starting or buying a company in the province. Details of proposed criteria can be found by opening this file.
