PEI invites 127 PNP candidates |Wes India

Prince Edward Island held a draw through the province’s Expression of Interest system.
Prince Edward Island held its pre-scheduled immigration draw on July 15.

The province invited a total of 127 immigration candidates through its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
Most of the invitations, 118, went to Express Entry and Labour Impact candidates. The remaining nine invitations went to Business Impact candidates who had at least 60 points in the province’s immigration system.

This is the seventh draw of the year held by the Canadian maritime province. PEI has invited 1,032 candidates, 934 of which were from the Labour Impact and Express Entry streams and 98 from the Business Impact stream.

PNPs allow Canada’s provinces and territories to select immigration candidates who meet their labour market needs. This is true of Prince Edward Island, which administers the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) within federally approved guidelines.

The next PEI PNP draw is expected for August 19.
