About Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island is the smallest among all the Canadian provinces. Referred to as “The Island” by the local population, PEI offers rewarding career opportunities and a business community especially supportive of entrepreneurs. Prince Edward Island or PEI was the 7th province to become a part of the Confederation of Canada.

PEI finds its place both among the Maritime Provinces in Canada as well as the Canadian Atlantic provinces. Previously known as Acadie or Acadia, the Atlantic Provinces in Canada comprise 4 provinces – PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Canada’s Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) offers immigration pathways for those willing to take up their Canadian permanent residence and settle within Atlantic Canada.

‘Charlottetown is the capital city of Prince Edward Island.’

The prominent cities in PEI include:

• Charlottetown
• Summerside
• Stratford
• Cornwall
• Three Rivers
• Kensington

Prince Edward Island Immigration

A part of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) of Canada, PEI has its own immigration program – the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) – for the induction of newcomers into the province. The selection process of the PEI PNP operates through a points-based Expression of Interest (EOI) system that assesses potential candidates prior to issuing an invitation to apply.

Candidates with the greatest potential of economically establishing themselves in the province are prioritized by the PEI PNP. If approved as a provincial nominee by the PEI PNP, the principal applicant as well as their dependent family members can then proceed to apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC] for taking up permanent residence in Canada in the Provincial Nominee class.
