With this, a total of 1,721 candidates are invited by PEI to apply for provincial nominations and eventually qualify for Canadian permanent residence.

EOI profiles are given points based on the province’s unique points grid. The highest-scoring candidates are then invited to apply through monthly draws.

Prince Edward Island also favors the immigration of foreign entrepreneurs to boost its economy. Such candidates are issued invitations under the Work Permit Stream, which is for foreign entrepreneurs who want to own and operate a business in PEI.
Further, eligible candidates with a successful provincial nomination can apply to the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency.

Prince Edward Island is among the four Atlantic provinces in Canada which are dependent on immigration for their population growth and sustaining the economy. The other three provinces Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick are also making significant efforts to welcome and retain more immigrants.
Interestingly, Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province yet has the country’s highest population growth rate. Thus, it enjoys Canada’s highest per capita intake of foreign newcomers.
