Pathway overview

For entrepreneurs owning and actively managing a business in Nova Scotia.

DISCLOSED SOURCING NOTE: Nova Scotia's own official immigration site (novascotiaimmigration.com) blocked every access method tried this session (direct fetch, full browser navigation) — this program's figures are corroborated across multiple independent professional immigration-law sources, but were not independently confirmed against Nova Scotia's own page. One independent source also referenced a possible recent program redesign; candidates should confirm current figures directly with Nova Scotia before relying on this pathway. Reported requirements: a minimum net worth of CAD $600,000 (CAD $400,000 outside the Halifax Regional Municipality — the higher, Halifax figure is the one encoded here), a minimum investment of CAD $150,000 (CAD $100,000 outside HRM), at least 3 years as a business owner (33.33%+ ownership) or 5+ years in a senior business management role, and Canadian Language Benchmark 5. Only net worth and investment are encoded as rules here.
