Candidates wanting to apply for a provincial nomination under the PEI PNP are required to create a profile in the province’s EOI system. Eligible candidates are placed in the pool of qualifying candidates and assigned a CRS score based on their profile. The highest-ranking candidates are invited to submit an application during periodic draws.

The PEI PNP issues ITAs to eligible candidates on a bi-weekly basis - with some exceptions. The frequency, size, and date of the next PEI PNP draw - are determined by the needs of the PEI PNP application inventory and the announced schedule.
