And lots of forum members have gone as visitors and had the company apply for a LMO whilst they were there, it's certainly no problem these days.

I can highly recommend taking the time to have a chat with Relocation Nova Scotia. We stayed with them for a week on a recce 1 month ago.
They have provided us with so much support and guidance that it would take ages to list! they are well versed about the local economy and job prospects.
On return to Uk we returned to NS immediately (after only 4 days!) to chase up a potential job and get settled whilst we wait for our PR visas to process.
The move was definately made easier knowing someone here.
We are working our new network of friends and contacts and going from strength to strength.
Hubby now has a job offer and we now wait for LMO & work permits to be processed.

when you phone her tell her Team Jones recommended her!

cost of recce = flights, air canada are the only direct flights now until may next year, car hire, accomadation can be negotiated as its now off season (have a chat with Mumford B&B in Halifax, you will also get relocation coaching etc). eating out and shopping isnt cheap here either, we are learning to shop better.

I hope someone else will pipe up shortly and fill in the blanks or clarify stuff
