While living in Prince Edward Island I caught an Eastern Woodland Rat. While
I never have seen on in Nova Scotia I have always been of the opinion that
they did exist here.

Is that assumption  correct or otherwise?

Other than pets... 2 species... Most are the Brown or Norway Rat.  But from
time to time, in some selected (urban) spots we get Black or Roof rats..
They can easily be told apart by the length to the tail and the ears..;l
The Black rats have a tail that is longer than its body, and naked, somewhat
rounded ears.

 

What have you encountered?|
