permanent residence. The province operates several immigration streams divided among
three categories:

1. PEI Express Entry

Prospective immigrants who are in the federal Express Entry pool and have expressed
their interest of living and working in Prince Edward Island may be eligible for PEI Express

however only applicants whose skills and experience match the province’s current labour
needs will be considered for Express Entry PNP.

meet the requirements of at least one of the Federal Economic Immigration
programs:

can create a profile at any time through IRCC.

There are two pathways to permanent residency through the PEI Express Entry
Category, depending on if you have a job offer in PEI or not. Priority will be given to
applicants that are living and working in PEI.

Application Process:
