All of my family is from the maritimes, mostly from Nova Scotia. All of my cousins have moved out west though, because there is an extreme lack of opportunities out there, job-wise. Mind you, none of them went to University so maybe that plays a factor in it. Anyways, yeah if you're set on moving out there, make sure you have a very good job lined up there, because while the cost of living may be cheaper, you wont really be raking in the dough.
However, all money issues aside, Nova Scotia is AMAZING. I absolutely love it, its a beautiful place, very friendly people, and just an all-round good time. I love going to visit everyone there, and my family has a cottage down there too. My dad is planning on retiring down there too, he grew up there and I'm pretty sure he's been planning his return ever since he moved out to Calgary for work.
Best of luck!
