The Atlantic province of Prince Edward Island issued 78 invitations to apply for a provincial nomination in a draw that took place May 17. Of that total, 22 invitations went to\u00a0Express Entry<\/a>\u00a0candidates through PEI\u2019s\u00a0Express Entry Stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The province\u2019s Office of Immigration said the\u00a0Express Entry\u00a0candidates invited are currently working in the province. No EOI score range was provided for the Express Entry invitations.<\/p>\n

Express Entry candidates who wish to be considered under PEI\u2019s\u00a0Express Entry Stream\u00a0must create a profile through the province\u2019s\u00a0Expression of Interest (EOI) system<\/a>, which was introduced in February. Profiles are reviewed and assigned points based on six selection factors: age, language, education, work experience, employment, and adaptability up to a maximum of 100 points.<\/p>\n

Express Entry candidates who are nominated by PEI receive an additional 600\u00a0Comprehensive Ranking System<\/a>\u00a0(CRS) points.<\/p>\n

Candidates invited through the PEI Express Entry Stream have 90 days from the invitation date to submit a complete application to the province\u2019s Office of Immigration.<\/p>\n

Labour Impact invitations also issued<\/strong><\/p>\n

The May 17 draw also issued invitations to 56 candidates in PEI\u2019s\u00a0Labour Impact Category<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No EOI score range was provided for these candidates.<\/p>\n

PEI\u2019s Labour Impact Category is for individuals who possess skills and experience that are needed in PEI\u2019s labour market. The category is divided into three streams:\u00a0Skilled Workers<\/a>,\u00a0Critical Workers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0International Graduates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PEI\u2019s Office of Immigration did not provide a breakdown of how many candidates were invited through each stream in the Labour Impact Category.<\/p>\n
