Prince Edward Island PNP Draw

The province of Prince Edward Island has invited 345 economic immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination in a draw held September 17.

After issuing the largest number invitations to Express Entry and Labour Impact candidates on August 20, the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) distributed yet another record-breaking number of  345 invitations to candidates in all streams on September 17.

A total of 313 candidates in Prince Edward Island (PEI)’s Express Entry and Labour Impact categories received invitations in the latest draw.

PEI’s provincial nominee program, the PEI PNP, did not disclose specifically how many Express Entry candidates were invited to apply.

Another 32 entrepreneur candidates were invited through PEI’s Business Impact: Work Permit Stream.

The PEI PNP is a component of Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program, which allows participating provinces and territories to nominate a set number of economic immigration candidates for permanent residence each year.

The PEI PNP has an Express Entry category that is aligned with the federal Express Entry system, which manages the pool of candidates for three of Canada’s main economic immigration categories — the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and Canadian Experience Class.
