Welcome to Cape Breton Island
Considered one of the most beautiful islands in the world, Cape Breton stands alone as Nova Scotia’s masterpiece.
Our way of life is truly unique. For centuries, Cape Breton Island has been influenced by an influx of Newcomers from all over the world creating a mosaic of cultures and an exceptionally rich society. Our economy, beautiful land and friendly people provide Newcomers with the opportunity to live a full and rich life.
Cape Breton is often described as a community of communities made up of Newcomers past and present. The close proximity of rural areas and urban centres on the Island provides an enhanced quality of life allowing you to experience the best of both worlds.
Cape Breton County Economic Development Authority in partnership has created this website through the Citizenship and Immigration Canada's Going to Canada Portal Initiative and the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration to assist Newcomers to Cape Breton through the settlement process by providing information and direction.
A Newcomer is:- Someone from another country outside of Canada
- Someone from another Canadian province outside of Nova Scotia
- Someone from the mainland of Nova Scotia
- A Cape Breton Expatriate
