After its largest provincial draw of 2022 that was held on 21 July, Prince Edward Island in its recent draw has sent invitations to apply to 121 skilled workers and business entrepreneurs for Canada immigration prospects.

Invitations were issued on August 18 through the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) streams for Business Work Permit Entrepreneur, Express Entry, and Labor Impact streams of immigration.

117 invitations were sent to candidates for the Labour Impact and Express Entry programs, and 4 were sent to applicants for the Business Work Permit Entrepreneur program.

Candidates for the Business Work Permit Entrepreneur program required a minimum of 97 points to receive an invitation.

So far this year Prince Edward Island has sent a total of 1,112 invitations to immigrants for provincial nomination.

How to apply for PEI PNP?

Express Entry's Expression of Interest (EOI) system is used by the PEI PNP Express Entry stream. Candidates must submit a profile to PEI's candidate pool if they match the eligibility requirements. The PEI Express Entry Ranking System will then be used to compare every applicant in the pool to one another. In one of the category's recurring draws, the top candidates will be requested to submit a comprehensive application to the stream. The PEI PNP Express Entry profile, pool, and ranking system are distinct from the Express Entry profile, pool, and ranking system, despite the fact that applicants must have an active Express Entry profile to be eligible.

On their IRCC online account, successful candidates must accept the provincial nomination. The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of the candidate will rise by 600 points after accepting the provincial nomination, all but ensuring they would be offered an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in the upcoming Express Entry draw.

 The applicant must prepare and submit an official application for Canadian permanent residency within the time frame specified after receiving an ITA. Express Entry-submitted requests for permanent residency are typically processed within six months.
