How does PEI PNP invite candidates?

The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) is a pathway for skilled foreign workers and entrepreneurs to immigrate to Prince Edward Island, a province of Canada. The PEI PNP has several immigration streams, and each stream has its own requirements and criteria.

PEI PNP invites candidates through an Expression of Interest (EOI) system. This means that interested candidates must first create an EOI profile with the PEI PNP. The EOI profile includes personal information, education, work experience, language proficiency, and other relevant details.

Once a candidate has submitted their EOI profile, they will be assigned a score based on the information provided. The highest-scoring candidates will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for a provincial nomination.

The PEI PNP regularly conducts draws to invite the highest-scoring candidates to apply for provincial nomination. The draws typically take place twice a month – with some exceptions.

It's important to note that meeting the minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee an invitation to apply for a provincial nomination. The PEI PNP only invites candidates who meet the program's labor market and economic development priorities.
