Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program

The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) is a provincial nominee program (PNP) that allows Prince Edward Island to nominate individuals for permanent residence in Canada. The program is designed to attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international graduates who have the skills and experience to contribute to the province’s economy.

There are currently four streams under the PEI PNP:

1. PEI Express Entry Stream: This stream is open to candidates who have an active profile in the federal Express Entry system and who meet the eligibility requirements for the stream.
2. PEI Labour Impact Stream: This stream is open to skilled workers and international graduates who have the skills and experience needed in PEI’s labour market. This stream is divided into three sub-streams:
   
   1. Skilled Worker Sub-stream: This sub-stream is open to skilled workers who have a job offer from a PEI employer.
   2. Critical Worker Sub-stream: This sub-stream is open to skilled workers in critical occupations who have a job offer from a PEI employer.
   3. International Graduate Sub-stream: This sub-stream is open to international graduates from PEI post-secondary institutions who want to work in PEI.
3. PEI Business Impact Stream: This stream is open to international entrepreneurs who want to start or buy a business in PEI.
4. Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program: This program is a joint effort between the four Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) to attract and retain skilled workers and entrepreneurs. The PEI PNP has a designated stream under the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program.

To be eligible for the PEI PNP

Applicants must meet certain criteria, such as having the required skills and experience, meeting language requirements, and having a valid work permit or study permit (if applicable). Applicants must also demonstrate that they have the financial resources to support themselves and their family in Canada.
