Immigrating to PEI

Creating an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile is the first step to immigrating through the Prince Edward Island PNP. The EOI profile will include the selection factors mentioned above. Once you submit your profile, it will be placed in the EOI, along with other profiles.

Subsequently, you will be assigned a score based on the details provided in your EOI profile. If you meet the minimum score requirements and other eligibility criteria, you will be invited to submit a complete application for permanent residence (PR).

The province is currently selecting skilled workers in higher-demand sectors such as Healthcare, Trades, Manufacturing, and other key industries facing labour shortages. Individuals working in the Sales and Service sector may not receive an invitation to apply at this time.

Currently, 80% of applications under the PEI PNP are being processed within 8 to 10 months.
