The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP), a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), is a collection of immigration pathways that target immigrants with business acumen, skilled workers, and young graduates who are fresh from post-secondary education.
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM
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 settling within Atlantic Canada.
The 3 Canadian provinces – PEI, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia – form the Maritime Provinces of Canada between themselves.
The Confederation Bridge, the world’s longest bridge over waters that freeze over in winters, connects New Brunswick and PEI.
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 applying to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC] for taking up permanent residence in Canada in the Provincial Nominee class.
