PEIPNP Criteria: Partial Ownership Business Stream

• Any business, or member of an associated group of companies (see definitions), that has received investment through the Provincial Nominee Program within the past 48 months will not be eligible.
• Access will be limited to one applicant per group of associated companies.
• Where related groups of companies (see definitions) exist, eligibility will be limited to one transaction per related group unless each company is determined by Immigration Services to be a stand-alone entity and is not related by way of any material business transactions.

Where there are common shareholders between multiple businesses seeking access to the Business Impact Category, Immigration Services reserves the right to limit access to the PEI PNP if, in the view of Immigration Services, one purpose of the company structure is to access further investors.

Business Impact Category applicants and potential Prince Edward Island businesses are to obtain accounting/finance, risk assessment, tax, legal or other advice as may be required to exercise due diligence in selecting and investing.  Referrals to a chartered accountant, certified general accountant or tax specialist may be provided through the respective regulatory bodies:
