About P4G

Placemaking 4G was founded to improve lives, livelihoods and futures in Atlantic Canada. We set out from the beginning to change the province, change the country and change the world of work. We have enthusiastically identified Immigration in NS as an area in which we can and will provide knowledge, support, and growth in. 

We’re aware that many employers in Nova Scotia may not have the capacity, knowledge or comfort to navigate the immigration landscape. Our ultimate goal is to provide these supports, educate, and ultimately optimize the international recruitment and immigration process. 

Our values of contribution vs. fit, inter-cultural proficiency, multi-generational involvement, diversity + equity and inclusion along with innovative ideas benefit our clients as we strive to have a continued profound effect on the attraction and retention of top talent. As the only firm of its kind registered as a Social Enterprise Community Interest Company (CIC), we are mandated to re-invest 60% of profits back into local communities to reduce the barriers to sustainable economic development. We partner with our clients, whenever possible to strategically invest in projects that align with shared values in order to maximize community impact.
