Nova Scotia
New Life in Nova Scotia
Canada remains one of the top five countries for British immigrants looking build a new life abroad, but the immigration process can be complicated and long. People wishing to settle in Nova Scotia, however, may apply for the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP), which offers a quicker entry into Canada for qualified workers and experienced entrepreneurs who want to make the province their new permanent home. The process can take as little as 15 months for qualified immigrants. In comparison, according to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the current processing time for permanent resident applications made via their London office is 40 months.
Second Home Nova Scotia, a UK-based company providing a comprehensive property buying services, is planning to expand its relocation department to provide resources and contacts for would-be immigrants. “The quality of life offered in Nova Scotia is very attractive to British people. It’s safe, friendly and welcoming, and spectacularly beautiful. Plus, with a population of less than one million, it’s also pleasantly uncrowded,” says Kilmeny Denny, Second Home Nova Scotia’s director and licensed property consultant.
Through Second Home Nova Scotia, a number of commercial properties and turn-key businesses are being offered for sale, presenting good opportunities for immigrants wanting to start a new life in the province. The Biscuit Eater, located in the scenic, much photographed seaside town of Mahone Bay, is a prosperous cafe and book shop. At 233 years old, the attractive building is the second oldest house in town and features a spacious owner’s flat on the first floor. As popular with locals as it is with visitors, the business is being offered turn-key with all stock and equipment for approximately £435,000.
In Cape Breton, a landmark salmon fishing inn on the famous Margaree River is for sale at just under £515,000. It is located on the Cabot Trail and has 42 acres, with approximately 1km of river frontage, 32 rooms and two suites housed in 11 buildings, plus an outdoor swimming pool.
Someone with a creative bent will find inspiration in taking over the Opera House in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Town Lunenburg. The main floor has a new stage framed by the original proscenium arch and back by a mural of its first show in 1909. The ballroom floor has a 14ft pressed tin ceiling and offers some of the best views in Lunenburg. Would-be impresarios will need just over £450,000.
A number of attractive inn and B&B opportunities also abound in popular tourist centres in the province. In the heart of Lunenburg is the 1826 Maplebird House, a beautifully restored Registered Heritage property with an outdoor swimming pool overlooking the famous harbour. The Garrison House Inn in Annapolis Royal – named as “the Most Liveable Small Town in the World” in 2004 – was built in 1854 and originally named the Temperance Hotel. The well-known restaurant seats 45 inside plus 22 on the veranda in the summer. There are seven air-conditiond rooms with new ensuites, a commercial kitchen and owner’s quarters.
Second Home Nova Scotia is affiliated with Nova Scotia’s premier real estate company. “Our association with Tradewinds Realty Inc, the largest brokerage with province-wide offices, means that we can provide the most comprehensive buying service and resources to our UK clients,” said Denny.
