Prince Edward Island Immigration

Immigrate To Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island is one of four Atlantic provinces on Canada’s East Coast, and the smallest province in Canada.  PEI is the most densely populated Canadian province, but holds the reputation of a laid back, slower paced environment conducive to relaxation.  The landscape is hilly with woods, white sand beaches and ocean coves.  The climate is moderated by the ocean, with both winter and summer avoiding the extreme temperatures seen in other regions of Canada.  The backbone of the economy on PEI is farming.  With its lush red soil, the region produces 25% of Canada’s potatoes.  Tourism and fishing also make significant economic contributions to the economy.   The province is connected to the rest of mainland Canada by the 13 km long Confederation Bridge.  The cost of living in Prince Edward Island is generally lower than other Provinces in Canada.


PEI Provincial Nominee Program

Prince Edward Island PNP operates seven streams through which it is possible to apply for Provincial Nomination.  You may be eligible to apply if you:

  • have a profile in Express Entry and in the PEI Expression of Interest System, or
  • have a job offer with a PEI based employer, or
  • want to operate a business in PEI

All streams use an Expression of Interest system.  Candidates who meet the minimum eligibility criteria are ranked on a selection grid and can only apply for PEI PNP if they receive an invitation.

Ana Paula Ledesma Covarrubias

Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant

I realize how important it is to work with a representative who is competent and caring during the process of immigration to Canada.  I remember the panic I felt during my own immigration to Canada when the lawyer that I hired messed up my case.

As a result of my own experience, I take great care with all of my client files.  I want each of my clients to have as little stress as possible during their immigration to Canada.  It should be an exciting time!

I work hard to stay at the top of my industry, so that my clients are well taken care of.  I specialize in helping Canadian companies to bring workers to Canada, and then helping those workers transition to Permanent Residence – but I am competent to handle most types of Canadian immigration applications.

I will be happy to help you on your journey to Canada!

Maria Georgina Rico Espinosa

Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant

I came to Canada from Mexico as an International Student, fell in love, and then achieved Permanent Residence when my Canadian husband sponsored me.

I worked as a lawyer in Mexico, so the legal aspect of Canadian immigration is a natural skill set for me. I obtained my license to practice Canadian Immigration, because I wanted to help others successfully immigrate to Canada. I enjoy the challenge of managing the legal side of each file, while getting to know each of my clients on a personal level.

I will do my best to ensure that your family is able to be together in Canada, as quickly as possible. I understand how important that is.

Frances Wipf

Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant

I love my job. Canadian immigration is more complicated that it first appears, and my brain is happiest when I’m working to solve a difficult issue.

Everyday, I meet really interesting people from around the world and help them make choices that will benefit their entire family for generations to come.

Most people find the process of applying for immigration stressful. My goal is to provide my clients with all of the reassurance that they need to feel comfortable while they await the outcome of a nerve-wracking process. I answer every email, every phone call, every question along the way – and I celebrate every eventual success with my clients.

It’s always a great day at my office.

Due to COVID-19, we are meeting clients on a limited basis.
