So, was your daughter offered a position on her AS results when she applied in April with a proviso that her A2 results (August) were what she was expecting?
Indeed our son has a PR visa just like the rest of the family, so will pay NS Canadian rates rather than International - which is very good. We are hoping to move next year as soon as the boys break up for the Summer. Can't wait. Our other son will have just taken his GCSE's so we plan for him to finish High School there.
I would be very interested to see how you go with regards to Canadian student loans as well. I would appreciate knowing how you get on with that, if you wouldn't mind sharing your experience.
Hope all goes well with your daughters move to NS and that she enjoys Uni life. Will she be in Halifax or elsewhere? Our son is currently quite keen on Acadia.
Thanks again for your help.

It was all very straightforward and took around 4-6 weeks to process. You have to ensure that your son has his Social Insurance Number in order to make the application. Also parents Social Insurance Numbers need to be documented. The move to NS has gone well so far for my daughter and we Skype everyday. I hope to be back out there by next Summer.
