New Draw of Prince Edward Island invites Express Entry Candidates

Canada’s most economical province, Prince Edward Island invited a total of 113 candidates in its new Draw took place on June 20. Invitations were issued to the candidates under Express Entry, Labour Impact, and Business Impact Immigration categories.

Prince Edward Island organizes monthly invitation rounds for Immigration candidates who are qualified and meet the labor market needs of the province.
