PEI PNP · Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island PEI PNP.

Small island, deliberate selection.

The PEI PNP uses an Expression-of-Interest system with monthly draws. It favours candidates already working on the Island, those in occupations P.E.I. needs, and applicants who show a real intention to settle. P.E.I. also participates in the Atlantic Immigration Program.

If you're nominated through the PEI Express Entry, an Express-Entry-aligned stream, you receive 600 additional CRS points, which effectively guarantees an invitation to apply in a following Express Entry round.
