IRCC announces increase in provincial immigration allocation of Nova Scotia

The IRCC has announced that the provincial immigration allocation to Nova Scotia has been boosted by a whopping 40.8 percent. The province will now be allowed to welcome 5,430 immigrants, a massive increase from its previous allocation of 3,857 last year. 




 

Nova Scotia can admit 1,173 more immigrants through the AIP, a massive 75 percent increase than last year. The province can also allow 400 more immigrants through the Nova Scotia Nominee Program. This accounts for almost 17 percent increase since last year.

 

Quote by Nova Scotia Immigration Minister Jill Balser:

“Population growth is vital to our economic success. We have been preparing for growth, working with employers, communities, and settlement organizations to get ready for more people to call Nova Scotia home. Nova Scotia is a special place and we are excited that more and more people see a future for themselves and their families here”

 

In 2021 the province welcomed 9,045 new permanent residents. Immigration helped the

province surpass 1 million people in population figures. The top countries that newcomers arrived from are India, China, the Philippines, and the UK. The province is

credited with having the highest retention rate for any Atlantic Canadian provinces at

71%.

 

Nova Scotia immigration also announced a $2.5 million marketing campaign to attract

immigrants and Canadians living in other provinces to settle down in Nova Scotia. This

campaign aims to encourage more people to move to the Atlantic Canadian province

and fix serious labor shortages. 

 

Nova Scotia welcomed new immigrants this year despite the border and travel restrictions, many of them who moved here from other provinces.

Introducing the TRP Holder Class
