The province says it will resume welcoming international students to its post-secondary institutions early next month.
It says there are nearly two dozen institutions ready for the move with extra COVID-19 precautions.
All international students arriving in Nova Scotia from another country will have to quarantine for 14 days.
The provincial government says students can quarantine in a residence on campus, or off campus in a hotel or other location that meets all necessary requirements.
Last year, the province welcomed more than 12,000 international post-secondary students from more than 150 countries.
