Business Impact Category:
The Business Impact Category calls for entrepreneurs’ application with a view to make PEI economically more dynamic and hence, offering entrepreneurs permanent residence upon running and managing their businesses that can foster a win-win relationship between the business-owners and the residents currently residing there. It has three main sub-categories:
- 100% Ownership Stream:
This category gives residence to entrepreneurs who hold 100% ownership of a business. To obtain and run businesses, entrepreneurs need to be approved by the immigration office first. Moreover, upon meeting all requirements and submitting required documents, entrepreneurs are to deposit a total of $200,000 CAD (conditionally refundable) in the escrow.

- Work Permit Stream
The work permit stream is open for entrepreneurs who come here getting a work permit and wish to gradually develop their knowledge of business where they will invest in the future.
