PEI EXPRESS ENTRY CATEGORY
PEI PNP’s Express Entry Category is for candidates with a profile in the federal Express Entry system.
Express Entry candidates, who would like to be considered for a provincial nomination from the province, need to create a separate EOI profile with the PEI PNP.
These profiles are given a score on the basis of information provided in their EOI based on factors such as education, work experience and proficiency in English or French. The highest-ranked candidates are invited to apply for a provincial nomination through regular draws.
LABOUR IMPACT CATEGORY
PEI PNP’s Labour Impact Category is not aligned with the Express Entry system and is designed for foreign nationals with a valid job offer in the province and support from a PEI employer.
Candidates in this category may fall under three possible streams: Skilled Worker (in PEI and outside Canada), Critical Worker and International Graduate.
BUSINESS IMPACT: WORK PERMIT STREAM
PEI’s Entrepreneur: Work Permit Stream is for individuals who are interested in owning and operating a business in the province.
Candidates, who want to apply through this Stream, need to first apply for a letter of support from the PEI PNP for a temporary work permit. Those candidates who accomplish the terms and conditions of their business performance agreement are then awarded a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence from PEI.
