Canada PNP: New Draw by PEI PNP Invites 113

Published on : April 3, 2023

Prince Edward Island (PEI) is the smallest Canadian province area-wise. There are diverse career opportunities available for immigrants that choose to settle within PEI as permanent residents under the PNP of Canada.

On March 30, 2023, Canada’s Prince Edward Island province issued another 113 invitations to apply. This is the 5th round of invitations by PEI so far in 2023. A total of 22 invitations rounds are to be held by the province in 2023 as per the anticipated annual draw schedule.

PEI is a part of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), a Canadian immigration pathway that has a 2-stage process to get Canadian permanent residence. Firstly, a nomination must be secured from any of the provincial or territorial governments that run their own PNPs. The Nomination Certificate can then be used to submit an application for a Canada PR visa to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

In the latest PEI PNP draw, invitations were issued only to Labour Impact and Express Entry candidates. There were no Business Work Permit Entrepreneur Invitations.
