Chinese Immigrants: Immigrant Investor

Investor Section Dept: Bai Yunpeng told News Tuesday he opened Bai Lei China Town to give Chinese immigrants a reason to stay on the Island, according to CBC. P.E.I. has seen a huge increase in immigration following a huge push on the immigrant investor section of the Provincial Nominee Program in 2007-08. Thousands of immigrants will come to the Island under the program, many of them from China, but keeping them from moving to other parts of the country will be a big challenge and a new immigrant from China has opened a teahouse in Charlottetown, a type of social gathering place he says is as popular as Starbucks in his home country. "They came come here because the PNP program the government have, but after one year they left because they have no fun here. There's no place for them to have fun," said Bai. As reported in the news.
