What is the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program?

A: The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) is a program that allows Prince Edward Island to nominate immigrants to fill the economic and labour market needs of the province.

Does Prince Edward Island have an immigration stream aligned with the federal Express Entry immigration selection system?

A: Yes, PEI has an immigration stream aligned with the federal Express Entry immigration selection system, also referred to as an enhanced Express Entry stream. This stream is called PEI PNP Express Entry. By receiving an enhanced provincial nomination from this stream, candidates receive an extra 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, resulting in an Invitation To Apply (ITA) for permanent residence being issued at a subsequent draw from the Express Entry pool.

What is the PEI PNP Express Entry Stream?

A: Candidates who are eligible to enter the Express Entry pool by qualifying for one of the federal economic immigration programs (Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class, or Canadian Experience Class) and who are interested in living and working in Prince Edward Island may apply to the PEI PNP Express Entry Stream. Eligible applicants may benefit from processing times of six months or less. The PEI PNP does not guarantee that all Express Entry profiles submitted will be reviewed or accepted. Only those applicants with skills matching current identified labour needs for the province will be considered.
