PEI invites eligible Express entry candidates

Prince Edward Island Invites 204 Candidates, Holds Its Second Biggest PNP Draw in 2021

The maritime province of Canada, Prince Edward Island (PEI) held its scheduled Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) draw on October 21.

The latest PEI PNP draw resulted in 204 invitations to apply (ITA) for provincial nominations under all three streams: Express Entry, Labour Impact, and Business Impact.

PEI has been one of the most consistent provinces in 2021 after British Columbia in holding its provincial nomination draws. The October 21 draw is the tenth draw of the year held by the province, bringing the total number of invitations to 1,541 in 2021.

Highlights On October 21 PEI PNP Draw

Since the launch of the federal Express Entry system in 2015, all the immigration streams under Canada PNP are categorized into two: ‘enhanced’ provincial streams and ‘base’ nomination streams.

A total of 195 invitations went to Express Entry and Labour Impact categories.

In order to be considered for a provincial nomination from PEI, candidates must create an Expression Of Interest (EOI) profile with the PEI PNP. EOI profiles are given points based on the province’s unique points grid. The highest-scoring candidates are then invited to apply through monthly draws.

If a candidate is already registered in the federal Express Entry pool, they could qualify for provincial nomination under the PEI PNP Express Entry category.

Foreigners like Skilled Workers, Critical Workers, and International Graduates with a valid job offer in PEI, and having support from their employer may qualify under the Labour Impact category.

The remaining 9 invitations went to applicants under the Business Impact category.

Such candidates are issued invitations under the Work Permit Stream, which is for foreign entrepreneurs who want to own and operate a business in PEI. They required a provincial score of above 72 points in order to receive nominations.

Most previous draws this year had a qualifying score of above 80 points.

Further, fulfilling the predetermined residence requirement in Canada, eligible candidates can apply with the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency.

The next PEI PNP draw is expected for November 18, 2021.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are designed to accommodate the specific and specialized labour market demand of Canada’s provinces and territories. A successful provincial nomination will improve the scope to obtain permanent residence in a quick time.

Canadian Immigration: Q3 2021 invited more in-Canada Express Entry candidates for PR

An internal briefing by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, as reported by CIC news, showed the immigration department preferred more Express Entry candidates who were already in Canada to issue permanent residence (PR).

Q3 2021 that ranged from July, August, and September saw a slow down in Express Entry invitations for Canada PR since Q4 of 2019. IRCC issued a total of 20,981 invitations for Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence.

Fortunately, IRCC has already surpassed its annual target for 2021. As of the last Express Entry draw on October 13, IRCC has issued 110,377 invitations with three more months left in the year.

Nature of Q3 Express Entry Draws

IRCC held alternative program-specific Express Entry draws throughout Q3 2021. Candidates qualifying for Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) stood a good chance of receiving invitations for permanent residence.

Out of 12 draws last quarter, seven were specifically for PNP candidates (prior provincial nominations), and five draws for CEC candidates (at least one year of work experience in Canada). About 81 per cent of all invitations went to CEC candidates.

Canada is yet to issue an all-program draw which remains to be the most popular immigration pathway among foreign skilled workers without work experience or job offers in Canada. Such draws included candidates from the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).

As reported by CIC news, CEC will be the main source for immigration admissions in 2021. However earlier this July, IRCC updated the proof of funds requirements for candidates in FSWP & FSTP programs.

Currently, IRCC has an inventory of more than 58,000 FSWP applicants who are unable to enter Canada in June. This does not necessarily mean there will not be any FSWP draws before the end of the year, but it does mean those who have applied may expect delays in processing.

CanApprove has been in the immigration service industry for more than two decades. We expect a boost in Canadian immigration beyond 2021. We strongly recommend all immigration aspirants to enter the Express Entry pool as early as possible to improve their chances of obtaining a Canada PR.

Manitoba invites candidates for provincial nominations

426 PNP Candidates Invited to Apply for Manitoba Provincial Nominations

Manitoba held a major provincial draw on October 07. The provincial nomination draw resulted in a total of 426 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) to eligible candidates.

All the invited immigration applicants are now one step closer to obtain permanent residency from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Here are the results from the latest draw:

Skilled Workers in Manitoba – 350 invitations with a minimum EOI score of 446;
Skilled Workers Overseas – 21 invitations with a minimum EOI score of 729; and
International Education Stream – 55 invitations with no EOI score requirement.
Additionally, about 84 invitations went to Express Entry candidates.

Manitoba invited eligible immigrants to apply through one of the following three Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams: Skilled Workers in Manitoba, International Education Stream, and Skilled Workers Overseas.

The province also picked eligible candidates directly from the federal pool.

Manitoba has now issued 8,691 candidates in 2021 to apply for provincial nominations. With an annual target of about 401,000 new immigrants for the next three years, the time is now ripe to start your Canadian immigration process.

Labour Market in Manitoba & How to Immigrate

Manitoba is one of the western provinces of Canada that is booming with new economic activities. The demography of the province is ageing and the workforce is now more dependent on foreign skilled immigration due to a lack of native talents.

Manitoba is expected to see a rising demand for Civil Engineers (NOC 2131) in the coming years. The province is equally open for other skilled occupations and entry of foreign immigrants with families.

Although Canadian provinces do not have the authority to issue permanent residency status, they help immigration aspirants by issuing provincial nominations.

Interested applicants are required to register their Expression of Interest (EOI) with the province. Further, the registered profile is evaluated and ranked out of 1,000 points for their human capital factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, as well as their connections to the province.

This will potentially qualify them for receiving LAAs through the Skilled Workers in Manitoba and Skilled Workers Overseas streams.

In order to be considered under the Skilled Workers Overseas stream, candidates must demonstrate their connections to Manitoba such as close family ties, previous experience in the province, or an invitation through one of Manitoba’s Strategic Recruitment Initiatives. A full-time job offer from any employer situated in the province is mandatory.

International students who graduated from any institute in Manitoba can apply for provincial nomination under MPNP’s International Education Stream.

Express Entry is a direct entry program to obtain permanent residence without the need for provincial nominations. However, having a successful provincial nomination will guarantee an invitation to apply for Canada PR by virtue of 600 additional CRS points.
