Prince Edward Island invites immigrants into the province through their many immigration programs. The immigration programs defined by PEI are based on the skills. Under PEI PNP, there are around 6-7 immigration programs defined and each of the programs cater to different immigration requirements.

Prince Edward Island is one of the top tourist destinations in Canada. The province is famous for sand beaches, red soil and potatoes. It is the smallest province in Canada. PEI’s economy is defined by agriculture, tourism and fisheries along with certain modern manufacturing industries. It has one of the best economic policies in comparison to the rest of Canada. PEI invites both skilled professionals and Business Entrepreneurs to relocate to the province. Its main purpose behind inviting skilled professionals into the province is to help local employers fill in their vacancies.

It was in the early 90s that the Provincial nominee program came into being. The program was created to help Canada increase their population. Canada has always attributed its economic growth to the skilled immigrants it invites every year. Canada has time and again been open to reform their immigration programs and sanctions to help immigrants feel comfortable when in Canada. Canada has thus far has defined around 70 immigration programs.

Canada introduced Express Entry System in the year 2015 to help immigrants relocate to Canada. This is a well-defined system which helps the immigration authorities in Canada filter the right immigration applications who could adapt into Canada easily and who could fulfill the job requirements in Canada. Canada has over 10 provinces which actively participate in the Canada immigration nomination programs. Through these programs every province has the right to invite those profiles which fit in to the province’s requirements.

Every province invites both skilled immigrants and business partners to relocate to the province. PEI too invites businessmen into the province through their PEI PNP Business Impact program. PEI, on 20^th August 2020 made a draw from which it invited around 345 individuals into the province. Of the 345 individuals, 313 were skilled immigrants and the rest were business immigrants. The skilled immigrants were selected from Express Entry system and the Labour impact program while the businessmen were invited through the PEI PNP Business Impact program.
