PEI PNP Express Entry
The Express Entry category of PEI PNP is aligned to the federal Express Entry program. The Express Entry system of Canada manages applications for immigration under the three federal economic immigration programs, which are Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and Canadian Experience Class. Each Express Entry candidate is awarded a score based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) based on various eligibility factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency etc. Candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Those who have received a provincial nomination have 600 CRS score points added to their total score and that guarantee them an invitation to apply for permanent residence in the subsequent Express Entry draw.
To receive an invitation under the Express Entry category of PEI PNP, the candidates needs to submit an Expression of Interest. Each EoI profile is then awarded points based on the unique points grid of the province. Candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for provincial nomination in the draws that are conducted in every month.
