PEI issued a total of 1,629 invites during 2019. Of these, 1,436 went to Labour Impact and Express Entry candidates, with the remaining 193 going to Business Impact candidates.<\/p>\n

\n

Prince Edward Island Business Impact Category<\/h3>\n

Work Permit Stream<\/b><\/p>\n

Individuals applying under the\u00a0P.E.I. Work Permit Stream<\/a>\u00a0must obtain a Canadian work permit and work for a P.E.I. business for a certain amount of time as designated in a Performance Agreement.<\/p>\n

After the Performance Agreement is fulfilled, the applicant must make a minimum $150,000 investment in the business and commit to managing the business on a daily basis from within P.E.I.<\/p>\n

Previously, Prince Edward Island operated direct permanent residence business streams, but these were closed in September 2018 over immigration fraud concerns.<\/p>\n

\n

Prince Edward Island Express Entry Stream<\/h3>\n

PEI\u2019s Express Entry category operates by considering candidates already in the\u00a0federal Express Entry Pool<\/a>\u00a0for a provincial nomination.<\/p>\n

Such a nomination adds 600 points to a candidate\u2019s\u00a0Comprehensive Ranking System<\/a>\u00a0(CRS) score and effectively guarantees an\u00a0Invitation to Apply<\/a>\u00a0(ITA) for Canadian immigration.<\/p>\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
