Latest Updates of Prince Edward Island Draws
On 30th March, 2023, another round of Prince Edward Island PNP or the provincial nominee program draws came out. And it looks like the province is in real need of workers. It is quite unusual for the province to hold draws thrice in the same month. Commonly we get to see its draws come out once a month only. However, in March alone, the draws came out three times.
The invitations that Prince Edward Island issued are under the Express Entry stream as well as PEI PNP Labor stream. What does this mean, you ask? Well, it means that those applicants who applied in these streams, can apply for permanent residence in the province of Prince Edward Island.
Hence, if you were one of the people who did apply in Express Entry stream or in the Prince Edward Island Labor stream via provincial nominee program, then you may receive an invitation so you could apply for the permanent residency in the province.
What after you receive PR? Well, you can then work freely in the province. You get to live on Prince Edward Island, which is one of the most beautiful provinces of Canada. And, you can enjoy your life there!
Apart from the uncommon third draw we saw in one month, there was one thing that was out of the ordinary. The province usually goes for the candidates in the business work permit entrepreneur stream, however, the draws of 30th March were the second in line that didn’t include candidates from this stream. The last time PEI did not call for candidates from this stream was back in December, 2022.
