PEI EXPRESS ENTRY

Furthermore, the E.E category of Prince Edward Island requires the candidates to first submit an Expression of Interest for seeking the provincial nomination.  Furthermore, the profiles in the E.O.I. get a rank depending on the score of candidates. The selection factors are age, employment, proficiency in language, work experience, education, and adaptability. The candidates scoring high get the invitation to apply seeking the provincial nomination.

The candidates receiving such invitation can submit the complete application, in 90 days after receiving the invitation. After the success in getting provincial nomination, they receive additional 600 C.R.S points. This will help them to increase their possibility of receiving invitation to apply for Canadian PR in the later draws of Express Entry.
