Express Entry candidates
among those who received invitations
Prince Edward Island (PEI) invited immigration candidates in
its Express Entry, Labour Impact and Business Impact categories to apply to the
province's nominee program in a draw held on September 19.
A total of 122
invitations were issued in the latest PEI draw, which brings the total number
of invitations issued by the PrinceEdward Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) to candidates in both the
Express Entry and Labour Market Impact categories since the start of 2019 to
1,031.
Of the total
122 invitations, 109 invitations went to the candidates under PEI PNP’s Express
Entry and Labour Impact categories. However, The PEI PNP did not specify the
number of invitations issued under each of these categories, nor did it provide
the minimum score required to receive an invitation in the September 19 draw.
Remaining 19
invitations issued to candidates under PEI
PNP’s Business Impact: Work Permit Stream.
PEI PNP’s
Express Entry Category is for candidates with a profile in the federal Express Entry system, which manages
the pool of candidates for Canada's three Federal High Skilled economic-class
immigration categories - the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled
Trades Class and Canadian Experience Class.
In order to
be considered for a nomination from the province, Express Entry candidates need
to first register a separate Expression
of Interest (EOI) with the PEI PNP.
Candidates
are issued a score out of 100 based on the information provided in their EOI
such as education, work experience and proficiency in English or French, among
other factors.
The
highest-ranked candidates are then invited to apply for a provincial nomination
through regular draws.
Although a
job offer in PEI is not required to be eligible, the PEI PNP generally gives
priority to candidates who are currently living and working in the province.
Express
Entry candidates, who get an invitation
to apply for provincial nomination by the PEI PNP, receive additional
600 points toward their CRS score, which effectively increase their chances to
get an invitation to apply (ITA) for
Canadian permanent residence in a subsequent Express Entry draw.
PEI PNP’s Labour Impact Category is not linked with the Express Entry
system. Candidates in this category may fall under three possible streams:
Skilled Worker (in PEI and outside Canada), Critical Worker and International
Graduate.
In order to
be eligible under these streams, candidates need to be working in PEI or have
an eligible full-time, long-term job offer from an eligible employer of the
province.
Business Impact: Work Permit Stream
PEI PNP’s Business Impact: Work
Permit Stream is for
individuals interested in owning and operating a business on the province. This
stream also operates on a points-based EOI system. Candidates who receive
invitation to apply to the PEI PNP and whose application is approved get a
temporary work permit to establish their business in the province.
Of the 19
Business Impact: Work Permit Stream candidates invited, the lowest-ranked
candidate had a score of 115.
The PEI PNP’s next EOI draw is
scheduled to take place on October 17, 2019.
