Multicultural
- PEI boosts a rich, multicultural history with well established communities: from 1st Nations People, to French, Basque and English from the 1700s, to Eastern and Western Europeans, and Lebanese from the late 1880's, and the first Chinese immigrant in 1891;
- The Lebanese community it very prominent with members serving in Charlottetown politics from Councilor to Mayor and in Provincial politics to the Office of the Premier by Charlottetown born, Harvard educated, The Honorable Late Joseph A. Ghiz and now to his son, Robert, who is the Leader of the Official Opposition in the Provincial Legislative Assembly;
- In the last twenty (20) years, the Island has had the advantage of immigrants from the Baltic, Persian Gulf, East Asia, South Asia and South East Asia regions;
- The majority of PEI PNP applicants are from East Asia;
- PEI boosts a number of immigrant associations, including the Chinese Canadian Association of PEI which is an informal association with about 200 members and can be contacted via http://www.ccnc.ca/contactUs/contactUs.html#PEI.
- Foreign nationals are accepted by most Islanders and islanders believe immigration is good for Canada;
- There are no foreign national "enclaves" on PEI, instead PEI is a multicultural microcosm;
- Immigrant children are more likely in PEI to use English outside of school;
- Faster and better integration on PEI;
