P.E.I. invites 345 Economic Immigrants to apply for a Provincial Nomination

Following this trend is the province of Prince Edward Island (PEI) which held a record-breaking provincial nomination draw on September 17. It resulted in issuing 345 invitations to apply for provincial nominations to eligible economic-class candidates under Express Entry, Labour & Business Impact Categories.

PEI Express Entry & Labour Impact Category

September 17 PEI PNP draw issued 313 invitations under the Express Entry & Labour Impact Category.

The PEI PNP Express Entry category is linked to the federal Express Entry system. Naturally the profiles registered under it have various occupations and skill sets. Thus, the Labour Impact Category includes Critical Worker, International Graduate which is more specific to province’s labour demand.

Any candidate to be considered under the Labour Impact Category must need a valid job offer in PEI, and their employer support. Whereas the federal Express Entry allows candidates with work experience and with/without job offer in Canada.

All the interested candidates who wish to receive a provincial nomination from PEI are required to create an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile with the province. Later, these selected candidates can apply for permanent residence in Canada through Express Entry pathway. 

A EOI profile is assessed and scored for a maximum of 100 points. It is based on six selection factors: age, language proficiency, education, work experience, employment, and adaptability. 

The press release did not provide a detailed category-wise breakdown to determine how many Express Entry and Labour Impact candidates were invited, nor the minimum EOI score required for each category.
