Why immigration is desperately needed in Atlantic Canada | Your Morning 

Several tips to be prepared for when moving here. As an immigrant I was not aware, that they have the most snowstorm ever in their long winter season. Unless you love the mountains of snow then you will be ok. Plus you are more likely to have the job you are after if you are bilingual especially French and English. Besides those facts, the most friendliest people in Ca, great summer, lots of lobster and seafood, and so forth. All the best in moving here

Here's a news flash... 2.8 million Canadians born in Canada live outside Canada...I left 20 years ago ..I got sick of the taxes and the feeling the country was not my own anymore...in twenty years Canada did not send an email and ask hows it going....want to come back. Reality the 2.8 million who left have money making skill sets...they know how to generate jobs..and taxes...40,000 syrians ...no skills...stupidity...why not focus on the Canadians who actually pay the bills and maybe see if some expats would come back..who knows Canada better than those born here...they are not going to run to TO when it snows.

I have a different view. I would say create economic policies to drive private investment. Provide tax breaks to companies. Invest in infrastructure. In my opinion, if the jobs are there, the people will come.

It's a beautiful place to live

I am a pensioner living in Ontario, and it'is far to warm for me to survive in this heat, ao maybe Novias Scotias is the place for me?

I love how he says "most Canadians are proud of the Syrian refugees we take in" lol. Most Canadians that know anything g about the Syrian refugees aren't proud at all. Most of them aren't Syrian for 1, Most of the refugees are financial refugees for 2. Alot of the so called Syrian refugees don't want to or have any specific sort of job skills for 3. Due to the fact alot are financial refugees the welfare system is a means to an end for them, that's the plan. You gotta remeber your talkin a out financial refugees here, the way the system is set up for them is actually a step up from whee they come from. There no such thing as free money, food and clothes. So no actaully most informed Canadians are not proud of the fake Syrian un vetted illegal Financial refugees. Anybodys who's not a complete idiot is genuinely concerned about this prob. If Europe is any indication their concerns are more than justified as well. That being said there is a BIG difference between financial refugees and actual immagrants as well. Ironically I've had friends from Ireland, France and Australia that legally tried to immagrants to Canada. With college degrees and held the jobs the whole time only to be deported as their jobs didn't make the list of what's considered useful lol. So I for 1 say fuck the financial refugees if people wanna talk about immagration that's fine, but make it easier for people who wanna be here by choice and not convienence or hand outs. Financial refugees bring nothing to the table whatsoever they're not a solution. They will be a burden anywhere they go for at least 1 generation assuming their children go on to attempt to make a better life. For the love of god stop calling people illegally crossing into Canada refugees regardless of where they're from. Fact of the matter is you cannot be a refugee from a 1st world country. I guarantee they are not being persecuted or in peril in Minnesota lol. What they are is People who were illegally occupying are country for in some cases a decade. Most of which are actually from Haiti not fuckin syria. Even in refugee camps in Europe you actually hard pressed to find an actual Syrian.

Why dont you get immigrants from usa or where ppl made atlantic Canada and not immigrants from Asia

I agree that the weather is horrendous and its just too much with the rain and snow.

i´m going to live there ...

When you get multinationals to open headquarters and mandate them to employ things will change

Atlantic immigration pilot,it's only for working permit or it's also permanent resident visa

simple economics, you need a paycheck at the end of the week

How can I process my invester visa for New Brunswick. Any agency you can recommend for this.

First thing first, make young people want to stay in Atlantic Canada. If you can't keep young working people here, then bringing in immigrants will just make work even harder to find, and both the immigrants and young people born in Atlantic Canada will move. Solve the economic problem, don't bring in immigrants until we're in a good enough economic situation.

if they set up programs for local maritimers they would stay and have family s and we could grow our own population,in stead we bring in people from across the world??? whats wrong with our goverment?

I would love to come to NS. Visited before, I love the place, Any help?

Can you suggest when Nova Scotia category B will open?

Why not make it more cost effective for true Canadians to either have more children, or better qualified jobs and better pay??

Immigration Canada is so useless and screwed up. They should of been encouraging the immigrates now packed in Toronto and Vancouver to go there 15 years ago. Now you have ontario filled with immigrants and the Atlantic provinces have been stagnant in population growth and will collapse soon. Halifax should of been a good mid sized city by now. Canada at its best as usual. Instead of encouraging growth across the country, it all in Ontario. They also do it he same thing at the provincial level. In Ontario they throw all the money at the Toronto area instead of helping to attract people, and develop the smaller cities.

I can't stand when news broadcasters speak for all of us Canadians, What he is stating is not correct at all... what a joke?

I don't understand the Nova Scotia government ? The government tells come to Canada and live and work But embassy is don't give visa Is I am planning to study in Nova Scotia for language program is one year is m pay to school fees and my living cost is one year is 26000$ but I don't get a study permit I don't understand ? You like the refugees he came to Canada and government pay for benefits Some one coming with he's on money he don't want any government benefits And don't get a study permit how is the

Hell, I’ll immigrate there. A lot of my ancestors came from Nova Scotia.

In my opinion it all comes down to one key question. Are you able to pay a mortgage anywhere between $2000 to $4000/month? If you are,than Ontario is a great place for you.

GREAT FOR RETIRED PEOPLE WHO GO SOUTH FOR WINTER.

I left 33 yrs ago because i wanted to work round

They make it so complex to immigrate there...they too complex point system plus job offer....which most people don't find easy.....to get..

I am a Muslim who plans to immigrate to Canada, but I would like to give an unbiased opinion about economics I would like to suggest that Atlantic Canada encourage entrepreneurship and investments by lowering corporate taxes. In California many businesses have been formed because of the tech boom which brought many jobs into the area But now because California taxes are so high many companies are moving to texas. At the end no one wants to have all these degrees and sit without a job. So create an economy that encourages entrepreneurs to come who then can get workers to come easily. Unbiasedly speaking capitalism and trickle down economics is what actually works

I studied in Dal and can say there is no job or they want to hire Canadians first.

I'd move to move to Nova Scotia.

I'm a transplanted Canadian living in the states , married to an american woman , I have 4 grown children all married now, but my wife and I would love to consider NB , NS , or PEI, as home , but my social security would not cover the cost of living there so..................make me an offer ............LOL

It needs to retain people first

i love nova scotia

Montreal and Toronto resident here. Atlantic Canada..find a way to self populate..please don't turn your peaceful, and politely mannered communities into the garbage bins that is happening here.

If Ontario and Quebec didn’t screw us over we wouldn’t be worrying about this

I find the mindset to gain more tax by taxpayers money in not what the government should be looking for. They should look for an economic development with good job opportunity lower taxes for people to come and live in the Atlantic provinces in Canada. Increase exports from the province to other provinces and internationally. CREATE MORE JOBS

THIS IS WHY NOONE WILL MOVE TO ATLANTIC CANADA

Marco nailed it as far as the destinations for emigrants from Nova Scotia. But they do have the necessary skills for NS. They have no problem getting jobs--at least in IT or medicare--here in this province. One used to be my family doctor. Another was a co-worker working from another IT team. Both moved again to Toronto within a short period of time. The real issue isn't that immigrants can't compete with the local needs in the labor pool, it's that the NS companies aren't bothering to compete with Ontario. The extra benefits and pay that automatically come with the new job in western Canada isn't on par with what companies are offering in NS. They exploit Nova Scotians and expect us to be needy and humble like Argentians or Indians (from India).

Wait for me am comming soon

They have no work skills, let alone Canadian work skills outside of pushing a broom, they can't understand instructions??? It's Mindless?

Hlo sir.i live in winnipeg and my boyfriend live in india.he has a electrection diploma and iti and 5band in clb.can he apply for nova Scotia. Plsss reply for msg

Is simple, just increase equalization payments from Ottawa to the Maritimes. No reason Ottawa can’t flush the provincial governments of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and Newfoundland with cash. Can’t just let a Canadian region devolve into poverty.

Propaganda. Nova Scotians have been leaving for other parts for decades. Was much native poverty.

A very old media game. "The economy is bad therefore we need more immigrants!" Alternatively: "The economy is doing well, therefore we can let in more immigrants."

Indians should love and admire the country where they migrate rather going and spreading the importance of home country. This will really make other cou try people annoy. Then whats the point of immigration. It is nonsense to go to canada and speaking that india is a beautiful.

Who can help with work permit from Pakistan to Canada

I would not mind coming there, provided I have a job security.

please if anybody see this note I would move to the place. but I need job offer. please please

How did Trudeau win about 86 seats in the Maritimes if there is a dearth of Maritimers. I wish someone would look into this.

yay me canda too me lake canda

Newcomers might ACTUALLY start businesses and help the Maritime provinces grow.

are these Muslims going there to work or spend a lifetime claiming benefits

Xenophobic comments...

It's too expensive to live in Canada!

Non-white immigrant here. Unless you're European, don't bother. It's mostly all Whites there. Mostly less educated, ignorant, tattoos all over body, you're gonna need to get used to be friends with dogs more than humans. Dogs roaming leash free. Random dogs will sniff you all over and you'll be expected to get used to this dog hugging culture. You'd be discriminated everywhere. There's a reason most go to Greater Toronto Area. I'd be depressed in Atlantic provinces. You're better off moving to South Asian countries than live in Atlantic Canada. I can understand immigrants have NO choice but to move there because ON has become very unaffordable, especially for new immigrants.
