How Does Prince Edward Island PNP Work?

The PEI PNP draw enables the province to nominate individuals with the skills, experience, and qualifications needed to support its economic and labour market priorities. This PEI program targets skilled workers, international graduates, and entrepreneurs who wish to live and work in Prince Edward Island permanently.

The first step in most PEI PNP pathways is submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile. Candidates are assessed and ranked based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, adaptability, and connections to Prince Edward Island. Those with competitive scores are placed into the EOI pool.

The PEI Office of Immigration conducts regular draws throughout the year and invites top-ranked candidates from the pool to submit a full provincial nomination application.

If approved, the applicant receives a provincial nomination, which significantly increases the chance to immigrate to Canada and obtain permanent residence.

Applicants aligned with Express Entry receive additional CRS points, while those applying through non-Express Entry streams do not. Final decisions on permanent residence are made by IRCC after federal review, including medical and security checks.
