Sector Breakdown: Where the AIP Jobs Concentrate
The majority of AIP-designated employers in Prince Edward Island are concentrated in Agriculture and Food, with about 50 companies leading the list. This sector includes potato farms and food-processing facilities that offer full-time, non-seasonal positions — perfectly aligned with the program’s goal of attracting newcomers to settle in smaller communities. The Healthcare and Social Services sector also represents a significant share, encompassing community care and social support roles that continue to grow in demand as demographics shift, often with employers who actively support immigrant settlement. Retail, Hospitality, and Construction sectors collectively contribute a large number of positions across the province, though it’s important to note that some hospitality jobs may be seasonal and therefore ineligible under AIP — the focus should remain on permanent, non-seasonal roles. Finally, a smaller yet vital portion of the list falls within Manufacturing and Services, covering areas such as welding, trades, and other specialized support roles that provide additional opportunities for skilled workers.
