Prince Edward Island issues new invitations to immigration candidates in May 16 draw … Canada Immigration

Express Entry candidates among those invited in latest PEI Expression of Interest draw

Prince Edward Island invited 104 immigration candidates in its Express Entry, Labour Impact and Business Impact categories to apply to the province’s nominee program in a draw held May 16. 

The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) allows the province to nominate a set number of economic immigration candidates who match local labour market needs.

Of the 104 invitations issued, a total of 90 went to candidates who have registered an Expression of Interest with the PEI PNP in its Express Entry Category or the various streams of its Labour Impact Category.

The Express Entry Category is linked to the federal Express Entry system, which manages the pool of candidates for Canada’s three Federal High Skilled economic-class immigration categories — the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and Canadian Experience Class.
