Default Driving Licenses NB & NS

I've been checking out the driving license situation. We are moving to NS later in the year.
I know you have to take a new test for NS, but you can exchange your UK license in NB. So any reason why you can't exchange in NB, then ask for the NB license to be exchanged for a NS one, which is free with no test.
As long as you can find someone to provide an address , anyone see why you couldn't do it ?. Be allot less hassle & cost than all the tests etc....

No reason at all. We landed in Ontario, exchanged licenses there, then moved to NS and did it again.

Well I can honestly say taking the test in NS is easy and straightforward

would you not need a NB address and proof that you lived at that address?
