Nova Scotia is one of the "have not" provinces, so salaries are generally lower there than in Ontario. Minimum wage in Nova Scotia is $7.15 ($7.75 in Ontario).
A far as Health Care, the way I understand it, is if you are entering Nova Scotia from outside of Canada as a landed immigrant, health care starts on the day you arrive. If you are coming from another province, it is expected that the province you are coming from covers you for the first 90 days. It's a little complicated, depending on your status. This site may help explain it - http://www.gov.ns.ca/cmns/overview/health.asp
Nova Scotia is a terrific place to live. Good luck!
