Web Development Funding

The Office of Immigration is accepting proposals to develop or enhance websites that help immigrants integrate into Nova Scotia communities.

Eligible projects will focus on developing online tools, content and services for prospective immigrants and newcomers to Nova Scotia.

Organizations that are focused on providing direct services to immigrants and have specific immigration activities will be given priority. Project applications must focus on online resources or content that provide pre-arrival information for potential immigrants and information that helps immigrants settle successfully after arrival. They must also include a viable plan on how organizations will sustain web developments.

Applications must be from established not-for-profit groups that are registered under the Societies Act or other Nova Scotia public or non-governmental organizations, such as public education institutions and regional development authorities.

Organizations can apply for a maximum of $10,000, though some projects over $10,000 will be considered if they are provincewide.

The funding, provided by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, will be allocated through the Office of Immigration.

Application materials are available online at www.novascotiaimmigration.com .

The submission deadline is Feb. 11.
