Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP): Your Path to PR

What Is the PEI PNP?

The PEI PNP enables Prince Edward Island to nominate individuals with needed skills or investment intent to live and work in the province. Successful nominees then apply to IRCC for permanent residency. The program is divided into three main categories: Express Entry, Labour Impact, and Business Impact.Government of Prince Edward Island+11Canadim+11Canadavisa.com+11
