The Express Entry Category is aligned with the federal Express Entry System. To get a provincial nomination from Prince Edward Island, express entry candidates have to create an Expression of Interest profile separately for the PEI PNP. Then, the highest-scoring candidates in the PEI’s points grid are invited by the province to apply for a provincial nomination. In the latest PEI PNP draw, the province has neither disclosed the minimum EOI score that was needed to receive an invitation nor the number of invitations issued.

Labor Impact Category

If foreign nationals have a job offer from an employer based in PEI, they can apply through the Labor Impact Category. There are three streams in this category – International Graduate, Skilled Worker, and Critical Worker.
