About the PEI PNP Express Entry Category
the PEI PNP Express Entry Category is an enhanced PNP, which means it is linked to the Express Entry System. In order to be considered for this stream, applicants must have a profile in the system.
Express Entry is an immigration application manager. It processes applications for three economy class immigration programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian experience class.
Eligible applicants get a Comprehensive filing system (CRS) for their age, work experience, education and proficiency in English or French.
Express Entry applicants who receive a provincial nomination receive an additional 600 points for their CRS score and are effectively guaranteed a Invitation to apply (ITA) for permanent residence in a subsequent Express Entry draw.
In order to be considered for a PEI Provincial nomination, Express Entry applicants must create an Expression of Interest Profile (EOI) with the PEI PNP.
EOI profiles are awarded points based on the province’s unique points grid. The highest rated applicants are then invited to apply via monthly draws.
Work impact category
The labor impact category is intended for foreign nationals who have a valid job offer in Prince Edward Island and who have the support of their employer. It is divided into three sections: Qualified worker, Critical worker, and International graduate.
Applicants in this category must also submit an Expression of Interest in order to be considered for a provincial nomination in the Labor Impact category.
Business impact category
Applicants in the Business Impact category must meet the minimum provincial score requirement in order to proceed with their applications. The score is different for each draw. The invitations that PEI PNP sent out for today’s draw were issued under the Work permit section, which is aimed at foreign entrepreneurs who wish to own and operate a business on the island.
