Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)

Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)

Prince Edward Island (PEI), which consists of the island itself and several surrounding isles, is Canada’s smallest province. It is sometimes called ‘the birthplace of Canada’ because of the Charlottetown conference, which led to the country’s formation. PEI is renowned for its lush farmland and beautiful coasts, as well as a burgeoning economy focused on agriculture, tourism, and fishing.

The PEI PNP is Prince Edward Island’s Provincial Nominee Program. Through this program, prospective immigrants with the skills and experience targeted by the province may receive a Prince Edward Island Provincial Nomination Certificate, which will allow that foreign national to apply for Canadian Permanent Residence with processing times that are faster than other Canadian immigration classes.

The PEI PNP accepts applications under two major immigration categories:
   1. Business Impact Category
   2. Labour Impact Category

In addition, the PEI PNP has initiated an enhanced Express Entry stream, aligned with the Federal Express Entry immigration selection system.

Below we have provided additional information about these categories to help you determine if the PEI PNP is the right program for you:

1. Business Impact Category

The province accepts applications under this category from individuals who wish to invest in and actively manage a PEI business. This category is divided into three sub-categories. They are:

   1. 100% Ownership Stream - This sub-category is for individuals who will be assuming full ownership of their PEI  business, either through the start of a new business or the purchase of an existing business in the province.

   2. Partial Ownership Stream - This category is for individuals who will obtain at least 33 1/3% of a PEI business, or invest $1,000,000 in the equity of a business.

   3. Work Permit Stream - This category helps individuals who wish to invest in a PEI business to transition to PEI on a work permit prior to receiving provincial nomination. During their time on a work permit applicants are expected to begin working in Canada and to learn about the business in which he or she will be investing.

2. Labour Impact Category

The province accepts applications under this category from individuals who possess skills and experience that are needed in PEI’s labour market. This category is divided into two sub-categories:

   1. Skilled Worker Stream -- This sub-category is for workers who have been identified or hired by a PEI employer. Eligible applicants will work in a skilled profession and possess relevant experience and at least a post-secondary degree or diploma.

   2. Critical Worker Stream -- This sub-category is for workers who have already been hired by a PEI employer, and whose employer would like to sponsor them for permanent residency. Eligible applicants can work in a semi-skilled or unskilled profession.

PEI PNP Express Entry Stream

Candidates who are already in the Express Entry pool and are interested in living and working in Prince Edward Island may submit an Expression of Interest to the PEI PNP Express Entry stream. Eligible applicants may benefit from processing times of six months or less. The PEI PNP does not guarantee that all Express Entry profiles submitted will be reviewed or accepted. Only those applicants with skills matching current identified labour needs for the province will be considered.
PLEASE NOTE: THESE PROGRAMS ARE CHANGED AND AMENDED OFTEN. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE PEI PNP PLEASE CONTACT US TO DISCUSS YOUR OPTIONS IN MORE DETAIL.
