Express Entry Stream for Prince Edward Island
In order to determine candidates for a provincial nomination in PEI’s Express Entry category, candidates must already be in the federal Express Entry Pool.
Such a nomination increases a candidate’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score by 600 points and essentially ensures that they will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for immigration to Canada.
Two routes to Canadian permanent residency are available under the PEI Express Entry Category, one for those with a work offer and one for those without.
