It has a peninsula and many offshore islands and has the stunningly unique Bay of Fundy, one of its most popular tourist destinations, famous for its high tides and whale watching. Halifax, its capital, is known for its lively waterfront and the star-shaped Citadel. Ready to move to beautiful Nova Scotia? You need to apply to a Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) stream then.
