PEI PNP Expression of Interest system

Of the total invites, 789 were issued through the Labour Impact/Express Entry streams while the remaining invites were issued to candidates from the Business Impact stream.
In the previous year, PEI PNP issued a total of 1,446 invitations through the Expression of Interest system. Of the total number of invitations issued, 1,240 went to Labour Impact and Express Entry candidates and the remaining 206 invites were issued to Business Impact candidates.

PEI PNP Express Entry stream
The Express Entry stream of the PEI PNP allows the province to select candidates who meet the requirements of the province from the federal Express Entry pool and nominate them for permanent residence in Canada. The candidates nominated by Prince Edward Island would receive 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score points that would guarantee them an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the subsequent Express Entry draw. The Express Entry stream of PEI PNP has two pathways, one that require a job offer and one that does not.
PEI PNP Labour Impact category
The Labour Impact category of PEI PNP has two streams–Skilled Worker Stream and Critical Worker Stream. Skilled workers with an employment offer from a PEI employer are eligible under the Skilled Worker Stream. Critical Worker Stream, which aims to resolve labour shortages in the province, is meant for foreign workers already working in Prince Edward Island with employment in specific critical demand occupations.
Provincial Nominee Programs are a better option for those candidates who feel less fortunate with the Express Entry stream, having low CRS score. PNPs offer a faster and simpler pathway for migrating to Canada. Get in touch with us to know the best Provincial Nominee Program that suits your qualifications and aspirations.
