In the spring of 2011, the Government of Prince Edward Island introduced new streams to the PEIPNP which continue to build on the Program's successful record of attracting business people and skilled workers to immigrate and settle in Prince Edward Island.
Business Impact Category
The Business Impact Category supports foreign nationals who are interested in owning and operating a business in PEI and who would like to apply for a nomination for permanent residency through the PEI PNP. Priority will be given to applicants who have the greatest potential to become economically established in PEI.
The Work Permit Stream is for applicants who are interested in coming to PEI on a work permit and operating a business for a minimum of one year prior to receiving a nomination for permanent residency. After meeting the program criteria, the applicant will be required to sign a Business Impact Work Permit Performance Agreement. Upon meeting the terms and conditions of this agreement, the applicant will be nominated by the Office of Immigration, Settlement and Population for permanent residency to Canada.
