If a prospective applicant shows language proficiency in both official languages, an additional 10 bonus points will be awarded.
Points for Language are awarded based on valid language test results or proof of a post-secondary academic degree (Bachelor or higher) awarded by a college or university for completion of an English or French post-secondary program. The program must have lasted for at least three years. If evidence of proficiency in both official languages is provided to the PEI Office of Immigration, an additional 10 bonus points will be awarded toward a candidate's EOI score.
When calculating language points, the PEI PNP will consider the lowest score achieved in all four language abilities (reading, writing, speaking, listening) to determine the score. For example, if a candidate has a CLB 7 in Reading, Writing and Speaking, but a 5 in Listening, the CLB will be 5.
Points for this selection factor will be awarded based on a signed endorsement from a participating PEI community.
Entrepreneur candidates can be awarded points based on evidence provided of any of the following adaptability factors.
