Nova Scotia
I'm very surprised no-one has mentioned Nova Scotia as a suitable place for immigrants?!
It might be poor compared to the rest of Canada, but it's a truly superb place! The people are warm salt-of-the-earth types, Halifax is a very pretty, vibrant city with lots to do, and it has tonnes of lakes/beaches and forests surrounding it.
It must be a great place to bring up kids!
You couldn't really get a more livable place in my opinion.

I live here!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a little gem of a place. Ok there are a lot of rednecks out in the boonies but theyre the ones who give it character. I live in Dartmouth just opposite Halifax harbour and it is so pictureseque considering its a capital city. As I'm sat here I can look across the town and see Halifax skyline.
In Dartmouth alone there are 35 or so lakes. We're not talking sizes of park ponds back home either!! There are beaches too on them but we're skating on them at the moment
So next time you visit Canada and cant decide which part to go to, give us a try!!!

I must say, I have very fond memories of NS! If TO doesn't work out, we'll probably move there. The skyline from Dartmouth is very impressive and the bridge across the harbour is beautiful. Such a shame that no-one really considers the Halifax area, it has a lot to offer. The people especially are lovely (even the rednecks!)
Also the pubs in Halifax are great! One of the best drinking towns I've ever visited! Have you been to the Velvet Olive? Very nice!

Hey hey! Don't let a Nova Scotian here you call them a red neck....that term only fits Albertans! We don't wear cow boy boots here! While you are singing the praises of Halifax/ Dartmouth, don't forget about the south shore. I have lived in N.S. for 20 years and have just rencently moved to the "boonies" They are a whole different class of people but really genuine!
Yes lots of people are interested in immigrating to Nova Scotia, but we have told them to keep our little gem a secret!
