Your move to Nova Scotia, guided personally — not passed around.
I’m Tsung Ju Tsai, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (R712983). I help workers, students, and entrepreneurs build their life in Nova Scotia. A decade of legal experience, my own immigration story, and every case handled by me — from first call to landing.
Three pathways. One trusted guide.

I know the system — and the journey — from both sides of the desk.
Before moving to Canada, I spent seven and a half years as a legal specialist in Taiwan, working with the kind of procedural precision that complex immigration cases demand. I then trained as an immigration assistant for a year, and for the past three years I’ve run Vizaut Immigration here in Dartmouth.
Vizaut is intentionally a solo practice. When you hire me, you get me — not an associate, not a paralegal. That means fewer cases each year, but deeper work on every one of them.

Nova Scotia has genuine, well-funded pathways for workers, students, and entrepreneurs — with fewer of the processing-time pressures and employer-pool squeezes you see in Toronto or Vancouver.
I chose to specialize here because the opportunities are real, the community is welcoming, and applicants who know the programs deeply tend to win.
- Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) Employer-driven PR stream for workers and graduates of Atlantic Canadian institutions.
- Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSPNP) Skilled Worker, Entrepreneur, International Graduate, and Physician streams.
- Express Entry (Provincial Nomination) NS Labour Market Priorities and Demand: Express Entry streams.
- Nova Scotia Entrepreneur pathway For entrepreneurs interested in expanding businesses to NS.
You should know what to expect before we talk.
Final fees depend on case complexity. Typical engagements fall in these ranges. Government fees and third-party costs (translations, ECA, medicals) are separate.
