PEI Express Entry Stream

The PEI Express Entry stream manages the intake of several programs, including ones for applicants outside of PEI but it is primarily focused on candidates currently residing in the province.  

In order to be eligible for this program, an applicant must first have an Express Entry profile with Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada. After completion of the IRCC Express Entry profile, an applicant must then create a separate application to PEI’s Express Entry system.

Upon receiving a nomination through PEI’s Express Entry stream, 600 additional points are issued to a candidate’s CRS score, essentially guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply for permanent residency.
