Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program

The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee policy is Prince Edward Island’s immigration policy aimed at foreign nationals who can positively contribute to the province.

The PEI PNP is divided into three main immigration paths. The first two paths are further subdivided into other types. Under the third Express Entry pathway, the PEI PNP provides a speedy option for individuals to get a Canada PR Visa, frequently in as little as 6 months.

Prospective applicants interested in immigration to Canada through the PEI PNP have two options for obtaining the Nomination Certificate. The first approach is to apply directly to the PEI PNP outside of the Express Entry Program via the Office of Immigration of Prince Edward Island. If accepted by the PEI PNP, candidates can construct an Express Entry profile and attach the Provincial Nomination Certificate.

The second approach for prospective immigrants to acquire a nomination from the PEI PNP is to first construct a profile in the federal Express Entry pool. Candidates must then officially announce their desire to immigrate to PEI through the Express Entry mechanism. PEI PNP can then contact them directly via Express Entry and issue them an invitation to apply for PNP. This option is often recommended because it allows you to include your Profile ID in Express Entry while submitting an EOI – Expression of Interest to PEI PNP. 

Because the Express Entry profile is already present, candidates who are successful through the PEI PNP can be immediately credited with the Nomination Certificate by the province. It will improve their CRS score in the Express Entry pool by 600 points, effectively ensuring an ITA for a Canada PR Visa in the next Express Entry draw.

The three main immigration channels under the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program are:

PEI PNP: Business Impact Pathway

The Business Impact Pathway of the PEI PNP is for candidates who intend to invest in and actively manage a business in Prince Edward Island. The PEI PNP immigration process is further broken into three categories:

Business Impact Pathway: 100% Ownership Category

As the name implies, the 100% Ownership Category is for overseas nationals who will own the whole business created in Prince Edward Island. It could be a new business launched by the individual or the complete purchase of an existing business in PEI by the individual.

Requirements:

Individuals wishing to apply for any of the immigration options under the PEI PNP must meet a variety of standards. The criteria varies based on the immigration sub-category, however many of the requirements are universal to all applicants.

100% Ownership Category requires the individuals to:

Aside from the foregoing, the company must also meet certain conditions to qualify for the 100% Ownership Category. The business must be:

The 100% Ownership Category of the PEI PNP provides thorough standards for the firm owner as well. This is because the business owner is viewed as vital as the business itself.

Business Impact Pathway: Partial Ownership Category

The Partial Ownership Category under the PEI PNP’s Business Impact Pathway is for overseas nationals who want to purchase a portion of a business in the province rather than the entire business. Candidates must purchase a minimum of one-third of the firm. They can also make a minimum equity investment of CAD 1,000,000 in the company.

Requirements:

Business Impact Pathway: Work Permit Category

The Work Permit Category is for foreign people who want to immigrate to PEI and work in the business they plan to invest in. It is an excellent alternative for those looking to gain expertise in day-to-day business operations before investing in funds. If not, the Work Permit Category has similar conditions as the Partial Ownership Category.

Requirements:

Candidates applying through the Work Permit, Partial Ownership, and 100% Ownership Categories are needed to:

PEI PNP: Labor Impact Pathway

Those who do not intend to own a business but who plan to live and work in the province can use the Labor Impact Pathway under PEI PNP. Candidates must meet certain requirements related to education, training, and experience that are in high demand in Prince Edward Island’s labor market.

The two subcategories of the PEI PNPs Labor Impact Pathway are further separated. While the requirements for these two immigration categories are largely different from one another, there is some overlap.

Labor Impact Pathway: Skilled Worker Category

Candidates who have been hired or will be hired by an employer in Prince Edward Island fall under the Skilled Worker Category of the PEI PNP Labor Impact Pathway. It is necessary for applicants to have knowledge and experience in a specialized field, including post-secondary education.

Labor Impact Pathway: Critical Worker Category

The Critical Worker Category in the PEI PNP Labor Impact Pathway is for unskilled or skilled workers.
