An additional 7 candidates with scores between 135 and 142 were invited to apply under the Business Impact Category of the PEI Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP).<\/p>\n
PEI\u2019s Express Entry stream awards successful candidates with ‘enhanced’ provincial nominations. This means candidates in the Federal Express Entry pool who obtain a provincial nomination from PEI will be awarded 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System points, and an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence at a later federal Express Entry invitation round.<\/p>\n
PEI\u2019s Office of Immigration revealed a new Expression of Interest system this year for foreign nationals interested in applying to any Canadian immigration category managed under the PEI PNP.<\/p>\n
All Canadian immigration applications submitted to the PEI PNP undergo a three-step process:<\/p>\n
Step 1: Create an account and submit a profile in the Expression of Interest system<\/p>\n
Step 2: The highest-ranked eligible candidates with a connection to PEI are invited to submit an application to the PEI PNP.<\/p>\n
Step 3: After a review of the paper application submitted to PEI\u2019s Office of Immigration, successful candidates submit a separate application for permanent residence to the Government of Canada.<\/p>\n
For the PEI PNP Express Entry category, candidates receive a score out of 100 based on the following factors: age, language proficiency, education, work experience, employment, and adaptability.<\/p>\n
PEI\u2019s Express Entry Category offers two pathways to permanent residence status, one of which considers candidates without a job offer in PEI.<\/p>\n
For this draw, PEI\u2019s Office of Immigration stated in their update that candidates who received an invitation to apply to the province were required to have a job offer with a PEI business.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) is not an application, but an indication to the province that a candidate is interested in being considered for the immigration category managed by the PEI PNP.<\/p>\n
Currently, the Government of PEI does not charge any fees for the submission of an EOI.<\/p>\n
In it their update, PEI also released a list outlining all invited candidates\u2019 countries of origin, which reflects PEI\u2019s commitment to increase diversity in the province.<\/p>\n
