Migration Patterns
The first people to immigrate to Charlottetown are the French personals. After words, many Europeans started to move over to Charlottetown for the hope of starting a new life in a new place. But as the years go by, the amount of people immigrating to Charlottetown has decrease. Even though it has decreased, Charlottetown is the highest populated city in Prince Edward Island taking about half of the total provincial population.

To find what immigrants suits the province needs, they have a system called “Provincial Nomination Program.” The four criteria the province is looking for are investors, entrepreneurs, skilled workers, and those who have connections to the island.
