Prince Edward Island invites 135 immigration candidates in new Expression of Interest draw || Oris V

118 Express Entry and Labour Impact candidates among those invited
Prince Edward Island issued 135 new invitations to immigration candidates in its Express Entry, Labour Impact and Business Impact categories in a new draw held

The invitations were issued by the province’s immigrant nominee program, the PEI PNP.

Prince Edward Island, commonly referred to as PEI, is one of nine Canadian provinces that take part in Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

The PNP allows participating provinces to nominate foreign workers, international graduates and entrepreneurs for Canadian permanent residence.

The PEI PNP’s Express Entry Category is linked to the federal Express Entry system and allows the province to nominate Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and Canadian Experience Class candidates for permanent residence.


Candidates in the federal Express Entry system who receive a provincial nomination receive an additional 600 points toward their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and are effectively guaranteed an invitation to apply for permanent residence.
