Evaluate & Compare PR Settlement Potential

Province/Territory	Main advantage	Ideal candidate	Potential 2025
Alberta	Large targets, additional quotas; expanded Tech & Law Enforcement	Technologist, worker who has worked in Alberta	Very high, many slots left, wide opportunity
New Brunswick	Flexible, priority given to international students and French speaking candidates	International student, long-term worker, Francophone	High, double quota, many pathways
PEI	Small scale, focusing on essential industries	People who have job offers in the medical, trades, and manufacturing industries	Average, industry-specific competition
