Prince Edward Island Express Entry stream
The Express Entry category of the PEI PNP targets candidates who are already in the federal Express Entry pool. The selected candidates are issued invitations to apply for provincial nomination. If they successfully apply for and obtain provincial nomination, they will receive 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score points, which increases their chances of obtaining an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada in a subsequent Express Entry draw.

Even those who do not have an Express Entry profile may apply under Prince Edward Island Labour Impact Category. However, the candidates need to have a valid job offer and support from the employer to settle in Canada.
