There will be one draw per month in 2022 for the PEI PNP, inviting immigration candidates from the Express Entry, Labour Impact, and Business Impact categories.
In 2021, PEI invited a total of 1,854 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination.
The PEI PNP’s Express Entry Category is an enhanced PNP, meaning it is linked with the federal government’s Express Entry system. To be considered, candidates need to have a profile in the system. Eligible candidates get a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on their age, work experience, education, and language proficiency. Candidates who receive a provincial nomination are given an additional 600 points toward their CRS score. In order to be considered for a provincial nomination from PEI, Express Entry candidates need to create an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile with the PEI PNP.
The Labour Impact Category is for foreign nationals who have a valid job offer in PEI and have support from their employer. This category is divided into three streams: Skilled Worker, Critical Worker, and International Graduate. Candidates in this category must also submit an Expression of Interest to be considered for a provincial nomination.
Business Impact Category candidates need to meet the minimum provincial score requirement to proceed with their applications. The score is different in every draw.
