Prince Edward Island has invited candidates to apply for a provincial nomination under Express Entry, Labor Impact and Business Impact categories.
In the month of June, Prince Edward Island welcomed 90 applicants for immigration, over three draws.
The PEI Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) usually releases draw dates for the year ahead of time, but draws this year had to be rescheduled due to delays in coronavirus disruptions
Prince Edward Island Express Entry Category
The Express Entry Category of the PEI PNP is an enhanced program that means it is aligned with the Express Entry system of the Government of Canada. Express Entry handles the requirements for the three types of economic class immigration. Qualifying candidates will be given Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) depending on the candidate’s age, educational qualifications, professional work experience, and language ability in English and French among other factors.
The Express Entry applicants will be awarded an additional 600 points straight into their CRS scores upon the receipt of Provincial Nomination.
To be eligible for a provincial PEI nomination, applicants for Express Entry would need to build an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile with the PEI PNP. EOI profiles are given points based on the particular grid of points in the province. The candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply via monthly draws.
The PEI PNP did not include a breakdown of the number of candidates for Express Entry and Labor Impact, nor the minimum EOI score needed for each group.
Labour Impact Category:
This category is for the foreign nationals with a valid job offer and support from their employers in the Province.
This category is sub divided into three stream namely
