Prince Edward Immigration Points Calculator 2017-18 helps you in assessing the required eligibility for Prince Edward Island immigration under PEI PNP Express Entry.
PEI PNP Express Entry
Candidates who are eligible to enter the federal Express Entry pool and are interested in living and working in Prince Edward Island may apply to the PEI PNP Express Entry.
This stream allows the province to nominate individuals who are already in Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) Express Entry pool and who have the necessary education, skilled work experience, language ability, and other factors to help them settle successfully and integrate into Prince Edward Island’s labour market and communities.
To enter the federal Express Entry pool, candidates must be eligible for one of the three federal economic immigration programs:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program
- Federal Skilled Trades Program
- Canadian Experience Class
Candidates who meet all eligibility requirements of one of these three federal programs must begin by creating an Express Entry profile. Based on the information the candidate submits, his or her profile will be given a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and the top-ranking profiles will be invited to apply for permanent residence. Receiving a Provincial or Territorial Nomination will boost the candidate’s score by 600 CRS points, greatly increasing his or her chance of being invited to apply for Canada PR.
