However, it’s important to note that submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) is not a formal application, but rather a way to express your willingness to be considered for the PEI PNP. The Office of Immigration also reserves the right to limit the intake or exclude certain occupations from EOI draws as needed.

About the PEI PNP Draw?

The PEI Provincial Nominee Program is one of Canada's most important immigration pathways, allowing the province to nominate skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and graduates for Canadian permanent residency (PR).

Through regular PEI PNP draws, the Office of Immigration invites candidates who meet the province’s labour market and economic needs. These draws typically target applicants from the Labour Impact and Express Entry streams, focusing on those with skills in high-demand sectors such as healthcare, trades, manufacturing, and IT.

To participate, candidates must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), outlining their qualifications, work experience, and ties to PEI. The highest-ranking profiles are then invited to apply for provincial nomination.

Receiving a nomination from PEI adds 600 additional points to a candidate’s Express Entry CRS score, greatly improving their chances of being invited to apply for Canada PR.

The PEI PNP draw process helps ensure that the province attracts newcomers who can fill critical skill shortages and contribute to the island’s long-term economic growth.
