The final draw for the direct permanent residence streams of the Prince Edward Island Business Impact Category has taken place.<\/p>\n
The September 20 draw saw eight invitations issued with a minimum points threshold of 152.<\/p>\n
It marks the closure of the controversy-plagued 100% Ownership<\/a> and Partial Ownership<\/a> streams.<\/p>\n Both are the subject of two federal government investigations alleging candidates exploited the program to achieve Canadian permanent residence.<\/p>\n The streams have allegedly been used by candidates with no intention of setting up a business in the province as a back door to legal status in Canada.<\/p>\n The closure means the Work Permit stream<\/a> is the only one remaining under the Prince Edward Island Immigration<\/a> Business Impact Category.<\/p>\n Under the Work Permit stream, candidates are required to enter P.E.I. on a temporary basis to establish their business.<\/p>\n Once the terms of an agreement have been met, only then are they invited to apply for permanent residence.<\/p>\n The September 20 P.E.I. draw also saw 116 candidates invited to apply through the province\u2019s Labour Impact and Express Entry categories.<\/p>\n P.E.I.\u2019s Express Entry category operates by considering candidates already in the Express Entry Pool for a provincial nomination.<\/p>\n Such a nomination adds 600 points to a candidate\u2019s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and effectively guarantees an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian immigration.<\/p>\n
