Latest PEI PNP draw welcomes 132 immigration candidates

The Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) has announced the results of its most recent immigration draw. A total of 132 invitations were granted to candidates belonging to the Labour and Express Entry streams. Prince Edward Island issued invitations in its eighth draw of the year.

The PEI latest draw continues the clear focus of the province on meeting the local labour market shortages, as it complements economic development efforts.

Thus, the program will further develop links between the province's education system, workforce, and long-term immigration strategies.

Factors of selection

In Prince Edward Island's measurable interest, successful candidates are ranked in the Prince Edward Island Expression of Interest (EOI) system, with the final selection taking into account the applicant's attributes in relation to the province's priorities. Examples of major selection criteria include:

  • Language proficiency in either English or French.
  • Level of education, field of study and the place of study for completion.
  • Work experience and a skill set relevant to labor market needs.
  • Strategic priorities of immediate shortage.
  • Prospects of getting a job, such as having a confirmed job offer within the province or previous working experience in Canada.

By considering such elements, the program ensures its invitations go to those who are in the best position to quickly settle down and give meaningful contributions to the local economy.
