About PEI Express Entry category

The candidates under this category have their profile submitted with the Canadian government’s Express Entry system. The federal Express Entry system manages the applications of immigration candidates for 3 economic-class categories namely FSTP, FSWP, and CEC.

The ranking of the applicants’ profiles is done by CRS. With a provincial nomination that a candidate receives, he/she gets 600 extra CRS points that ensure that the candidate will get an ITA in an upcoming federal Express Entry draw.

Express Entry candidates selected under PEI’s provincial nomination must create an EOI profile with the Prince Edward Island PNP.

The points given to rank candidates with EOI profiles are based on PEI’s unique points grid. Candidates who score the highest will be invited to apply via monthly draws.

About Labor Impact category

• Critical Worker
• Skilled Worker

Candidates who come under this category must submit an EOI profile to be selected for a provincial nomination via the Labor Impact category.

About the Business Impact category

The invitations send via this category were issued under the Work Permit Stream. This stream is meant for foreign entrepreneurs willing to own and operate a business in PEI.
