PEI Express Entry: The PEI PNP’s Express Entry is merged with the Canadian Express Entry System. The candidates having profiles in the Federal Express Entry pool are issued invitations. The Federal Express Entry System manages the three main economic immigration streams of Canada that are:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program
- Federal Skilled Trades Program
- Canadian Experience Class
The Express Entry candidates who apply for provincial nomination also receive additional 600 points in their Comprehensive Ranking System score. The CRS scores are managed on the human capital factors such as age, work experience, qualification, education, and language proficiency in English or French. This additional score ensures and guarantees that the candidates will receive an ITA for permanent residence. To be considered for the provincial nomination, the Express Entry candidates must have an EOI profile along with PEI PNP. The points on EOI profiles are allocated due to the province’s unique point grid. The candidates with the highest scores are invited to apply for the draws.

The candidates in these categories need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to be considered for the provincial nomination under the Labour Impact Category.
Business Impact: Minimum EOI score of 112 was required to be eligible for this Business Impact category. The invitations were issued under the Work Permit Stream. The Work Permit Stream is for the foreign entrepreneurs, who want to operate their business in Prince Edward Island.
