How To Qualify For The P.E.I. Express Entry Stream
P.E.I.’s Express Entry category operates by considering candidates already in the Express Entry Pool for a provincial nomination.
Such a nomination adds 600 points to a candidate’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and effectively guarantees an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian immigration.
To apply for a provincial nomination from P.E.I., candidates already in the Express Entry Pool should complete a simple form posted on the provincial government’s website. You can access it here.
There is no application fee and a candidate’s completion of the form is viewed as an expression of interest in immigrating to P.E.I.
Provincial officials say they will only contact candidates deemed worth pursuing.
