The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)

What is the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program?

The PEI PNP is one of Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs, or PNPs, through which provinces may nominate individuals for Canadian permanent residence based on criteria set by the province.

The PEI PNP offers immigration streams for candidates in the Government of Canada’s Express Entry pool, as well as skilled workers (currently working in PEI or outside Canada), graduates of local higher education institutions, and for business immigrants who want to operate a business in PEI.

The province invites top-ranked candidates to apply in periodic PEI PNP draws.

You can keep track of PEI PNP draws on our Prince Edward Island PNP Draws Tracker.

PEI PNP Streams

1. PEI Express Entry

The PEI Express Entry stream is a key part of the PEI PNP, notably because nearly any candidate in the Express Entry pool can submit an Expression of Interest. As with all Express Entry-linked PNPs, successful applicants obtain 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, resulting in an invitation to apply (ITA) at a subsequent Express Entry draw.
