Prince Edward Island Express Entry stream

The Express Entry stream of the PEI PNP is aligned to the federal Express Entry pool. The Express Entry candidates who receive a provincial nomination, will have 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score points added to their total CRS score. This would guarantee them an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada in a subsequent Express Entry draw. The PEI PNP Express Entry category has two pathways under it, the one that requires the candidates to have a job offer and another one, which does not require a job offer.
