About the PEI PNP Express Entry Category
The Express Entry Category of the PEI PNP is an improved PNP, meaning it is linked to the federal government’s Express Entry system. Candidates must have a profile in the system to be considered for this stream.
Express Entry is a system that manages immigration applications. It processes applications for the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class, which are all economic-class immigration programmes. Eligible candidates are given a CRS score based on their age, work experience, education, and English or French language proficiency.
Express Entry candidates who are nominated by a province gain an extra 600 points on their CRS score and are practically guaranteed an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in the next Express Entry draw.
Express Entry candidates must develop an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile with the PEI PNP in order to be eligible for a provincial nomination. The province’s unique points grid is used to assign points to EOI profiles. The candidates with the highest scores are then asked to apply in monthly draws.
Labour Impact Category
Foreign nationals who have a valid job offer in PEI and are supported by their company are eligible for the Labour Impact Category. Skilled Worker, Critical Worker, and International Graduate are the three streams.
In order to be considered for a provincial nomination under the Labour Impact Category, candidates in this category must also submit an Expression of Interest.
Business Impact Category
Candidates in the Business Impact Category must meet the provincial minimum score criterion in order to continue with their applications. Every draw has a different CRS score. PEI issued invitations under the Work Permit Stream, which is for foreign entrepreneurs who desire to establish and operate a business on the island.
