Welcome!
Welcome! At the Hants County Regional Development Authority, we understand the immigration process can be daunting. Relocating is a big decision and you probably have a lot of questions, from how the immigration process works and who to contact, to what community is the best one for you to settle in. We hope this portion of our website – and the information, links and documents it contains – will answer some of those questions for you.
After you’ve had the opportunity to review the information we’ve provided here, we hope you’ll feel that Hants County is a place you could see yourself living in.
It certainly has a lot of advantages to offer, including:
- An ideal geographic location, just a short drive from Halifax (the capital city of Nova Scotia) and international access via the largest airport in Atlantic Canada and direct flights to hubs like New York and London.
- A rural setting with close access to urban amenities and activities, and two national highways.
- A diverse mixture of housing choices appropriate for large, small, working and retiree families.
- A range of cultural and recreational opportunities, including festivals and events, golf courses and ski hills, and popular tourist attractions.
- Safe neighborhoods with quality schools.
- Warm, friendly and welcoming people.
- A short drive to coastal beaches.
- Access to leading educational institutions with learning opportunities that include continuing education, skill development, language training, and post-secondary and graduate programs.
- An accessible health care system that is supported by world-class professionals.
