Does PNP of Price Edward require job arrangement to be eligible?

[omwalmah]

Hi guys, I'm just wondering if PEI nomination require job arrangement to be eligible. I went through their self assessment test and they didn't say that clearly. All what they were clear about was the 50 points at least to be pre qualified.
Waiting for your kind reply

I could not see that a job offer was required from their page.  You can contact them at http://www.gov.pe.ca/immigration/index.php3?number=1017605&lang=E and ask.  Then make sure to let us know.
