Prince Edward Island has beautiful rolling hills, pristine forests and amazing beaches. The coastline has numerous bays, coves and small inlets as well as red sandstone cliffs.

We are happy to announce that the Government of Nova Scotia will attending Jobs Expo Dublin. They will be recruiting on behalf of companies in the province.
Overview
Nova Scotia is one of the four Atlantic provinces of Canada and home to nearly 1 million people. Set on Canada's east coast, Nova Scotia has over 3,800 coastal islands in addition to the mainland territory. Halifax, with a population of over 400,000 people, is Nova Scotia's largest city and its political capital. It is also one of Canada's major seaports and a main gateway to the Atlantic Ocean.
Halifax
Halifax is the capital and one of Canada's most important ports, especially for new immigrants. Halifax's Pier 21, which was once the main entry point for newcomers to Canada, is now an immigration museum.
As a provincial capital, government at all levels is an important employer in the Halifax area. Halifax is also home to central operations for Canada's Department of National Defense. Another major employer in the city is the Port of Halifax, one of the most important ports in North America. Like any major modern city, Halifax is home to a thriving service industry and many private sector companies. With the growth of offshore oil and gas production, this sector is becoming an increasingly important employer in Nova Scotia.
Halifax is a center for learning and culture. The city is home to a large number of post-secondary institutions, most notably Dalhousie University and Saint Mary's University. The community enjoys a bustling artistic scene, one which produces some of Canada's top musicians. Halifax has also grown recent years as a center for film production.
Economy and Employment
Nova Scotia has a very diverse economy. It includes key industries in the service, manufacturing and mining sectors.
Nova Scotia has a highly developed forestry sector as well as a highly specialized commercial agriculture sector. The mining sector is dominated by coal production. The province of Nova Scotia has recently begun to benefit from the extensive exploration of offshore oil and gas has been undertaken in the past decade.
Since the first commercial production of oil began near Sable Island in 1991, oil and gas revenues have increased significantly, helping to fuel the transformation of Nova Scotia's economy.
Tourism is also an important sector in the provincial economy. Almost two million visitors come to Nova Scotia each year, many of which come from outside Canada.
We are proud to announce that the Government of New Brunswick will be taking part in Jobs Expo Dublin. The Government will be recruiting on behalf of companies and industries in this region of Canada.
Location and Geography
New Brunswick is the largest of Canada's three Maritime Provinces. On the map, you'll find it under Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula and beside the State of Maine. Its northern border also includes the Restigouche River and the Baie des Chaleurs.
The eastern boundary is entirely coastal. It has warm, sandy beaches, and also has the warmest salt water north of Virginia.
Chignecto Bay and the 24-kilometre wide Isthmus of Chignecto, connects New Brunswick to Nova Scotia. This forms part of New Brunswick's southern border.
An eastern seaside province, New Brunswick has beautiful sandy beaches in the summer, spectacular autumn foliage, wildflowers in the spring and pure, white snow in the winter. The province is marked by its rolling hills and spectacular valleys, as well as its historic and modern architecture located in many of its cities, towns and villages.
Its rivers, such as the mighty St. John, the magnificent Restigouche or the majestic Miramichi, all possess unique characteristics unlike anywhere else you can find. From rolling farmlands to picturesque forests, river valleys to rocky pinnacles, the beauty and variety New Brunswick offers is unique in the world.
Cities
New Brunswick's communities vary from its eight major cities. These are Bathurst, Campbellton, Dieppe, Edmundston, the provincial capital of Fredericton, Miramichi, Moncton and Saint John. In addition, there are many attractive towns and villages located throughout the province.
New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP)
NBPNP is a provincial immigration program. NBPNP selects, as well as nominates, qualified business people and skilled workers from around the world who will live in New Brunswick and contribute to the local economy.
Like many other Canadian provinces and territories, New Brunswick has its own immigration program streams, targeting certain groups, and eligibility criteria.
Some streams target entrepreneurs, graduates, skilled workers with employer support, skilled workers with family support and so forth.
