Their first tendency is to settle in the epicentre of the province, Halifax, the capital. Then, Immigration francophone Nouvelle-Écosse introduces them to Acadian areas. Usually, people fall in love with those areas and decide to move there. It's a bit of a funnel effect, if you will. The majority of immigrants arrive at the Halifax airport and settle in Halifax, where they have access to French-language immigration services. We don't have enough money to offer those kinds of services in every Acadian area.
The only situation where the immigration gateway is different is in the case of international students coming to study at Université Saint-Anne. The university's main campus is in Pointe-de-l'Église in the beautiful St. Mary's Bay region.
Immigrants arrive at the Pointe-de-l'Église campus and look for summer jobs so they can stay. Some even apply for permanent resident status and Canadian citizenship. Generally speaking, they arrive in the capital and then move out to the regions.
