Welcome to Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island is the largest producer of potatoes and is the major source of the province’s farm income. Its economy is a mix of traditional resources such as agriculture, fishing, advanced manufacturing and modernized tourism that offers rewarding career and work opportunities for both locals and immigrants.

This province is looking for individuals who are interested to become part of their booming tourism, fishing, and agricultural industries. If you are interested, check out their immigration programs below.

What is the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)?

This program is designed for eligible individuals who would like to study, work, and/or settle in the island of Prince Edward. Young graduates fresh from post-secondary education are also welcome to apply. Just like any other nomination programs of Canada provinces, this program will expedite your application for permanent residency in Canada.
