* PEI’s retention rate fell from 32.3% in TY 2011 to 27.8% (tax year 2013) and the net inflow rate for 2013 (30.9%) is also lower than it was in 2011 (37.3%). This means that PEI retains significantly less than 1/3 of the immigrants originally destined there, which is problematic for a province where Provincial Nominees account for about 90% of annual flow of new permanent residents. Most of PEI’s out-migrants are destined for Ontario (2,555), and BC (1,720).
