"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "PEI PNP Express Entry
Under this category, candidates who are eligible under the Express Entry pool and are interested to live in the province can apply. However only those candidates who have skills that match the labor needs of the province will be considered for nomination under this category.

The PNP Express Entry is a PEI immigration stream that is consistent with the federal Express Entry immigration selection scheme. Candidates who receive an enhanced provincial nomination from this stream receive an additional 600 Detailed Ranking System (CRS) points, resulting in an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

Labor Impact Category
Immigration candidates who have the required skills and experience to meet the needs of the labor market in the province. The stream has three categories:

1.Skilled Worker Stream
This stream is for workers who have been selected or identified by an employer in the province. To be eligible to apply under this stream, the applicant must be either working in the province or have a job offer from an employee in the province.

2.Critical Worker Stream
This stream is applicable to workers who have been hired by an employer in the province and the employer wishes to sponsor them for a PR visa. The applicants can belong to either a semi-skilled or unskilled profession.

3.International Graduate Stream
Recent graduates from recognized universities and colleges in the province who have already been hired by a PEI employer. Eligible applicants will have to work in a skilled profession related to their field of study.

Business Impact Category
This category has a single stream called the Work Permit Stream. This stream is for individuals who want to invest in a business in the province."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "What are the steps to apply for the PEI PNP Express Entry stream?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Step 1: After a full application and all supporting documents have been submitted, the processing period for qualifying applications will take up to three months or longer.
Step 2: Within six months of obtaining your candidate certificate, apply for a permanent resident visa for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, formerly CIC). Applicants, their spouse/common-law partner, and their children.
For eligible foreign nationals, the PEI PNP Express Entry combination makes immigration to the province both quicker and easier. When using Canada Express Entry, the entire PEI immigration process could take as little as six months in some cases.
Individuals nominated for Canadian immigration through the PEI PNP would score high enough on the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking Calculator to almost guarantee a place in the next draw. It does not take long to be approved for PEI immigration after receiving an invitation to apply to become a Canada Permanent Resident, as applications are processed in six months or less."
