“PEI held its last scheduled PNP draw for the year on December 16.”
The results of the new Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw have been revealed on Prince Edward Island.
Candidates who applied through Express Entry and those who applied through Labour Impact received the most invitations, totalling 114. The remaining 11 invites went to Business Impact candidates who scored at least 67 points in their province.
This is the marine province’s final planned draw of the year. P.E.I. welcomed 1,804 candidates in 2021, with 1,697 coming from the Labour Impact and Express Entry streams and 157 coming from the Business Impact stream.
The PEI PNP plans its drawings for the year ahead of time. The 2022 draw timetable has yet to be revealed.
About the PEI PNP Express Entry Category
The Express Entry System of the PEI PNP is an improved PNP, meaning it is linked to the federal government’s Express Entry system. Candidates must have a profile in the system to be considered for this stream.
Express Entry is a program that manages immigration applications. It processes applications for the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class, which are all economic-class immigration programmes.
Eligible candidates are given a CRS score based on their age, work experience, education, and English or French language competency.
Express Entry candidates who are nominated by a province gain an extra 600 points on their CRS score and are practically guaranteed an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in the next Express Entry draw.
Express Entry candidates must develop an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile with the PEI PNP in order to be eligible for a provincial nomination.
The province’s unique points grid is used to assign points to EOI profiles. The candidates with the highest scores are then asked to apply in monthly lotteries.
