Prince Edward Island has moved to reschedule its April Expression of Interest draw with its immigration office closed due to coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rescheduling of the April 16 draw follows the rescheduling of the previous draw, on March 19. The province has now not conducted a draw since February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEI has encouraged candidates to continue to submit Expressions of Interest despite the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It says unscheduled draws may take place \u2018in this period of uncertainty\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The April 16 draw would have been the third of 2020 through PEI Expression of Interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program<\/a> (PEI PNP) draws feature invites for the province\u2019s immigration streams for Express Entry<\/a>, Labour Impact and Business Impact candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In two draws so far in 2020, 276 invites have been issued through the PEI PNP. They include 253 Express Entry and Labour Impact invites and 23 Business Impact candidates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEI launched its Expression of Interest system<\/a> at the start of 2018, and has made monthly draws<\/a> ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next draw is planned for May 21, although this will depend on how the coronavirus crisis develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prince Edward Island Express Entry Stream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PEI\u2019s Express Entry category operates by considering candidates already in the federal Express Entry Pool<\/a> for a provincial nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a nomination adds 600 points to a candidate\u2019s Comprehensive Ranking System<\/a> (CRS) score and effectively guarantees an Invitation to Apply<\/a> (ITA) for Canadian immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PEI Express Entry Category features two pathways to Canadian permanent residence, one for candidates with a job offer and one for those without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
