About PEI PNP’s Expression of Interest (EOI) System
Prince Edward Provincial Nominee Program invites prospects via an Expression of Interest (EOI) procedure. Aspiring candidates must initiate an EOI profile with the PEI PNP, incorporating personal data, education background, professional experience, language abilities, and other pertinent details.
Following the EOI profile submission, applicants will be ranked according to a scoring system. Those with the highest scores will obtain an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for provincial nomination, advancing them closer to potential Canadian residency.
