  Of these, 138 invitations went out to candidates under the categories of PEI Express Entry and Labour Impact. The other 17 were Business Work Permit Entrepreneur Invitations. The minimum score requirement is generally not mentioned by the PEI PNP for invitations under PEI Express Entry and Labour Impact categories.

To be considered for a PEI Express Entry nomination, an individual must have an IRCC Express Entry profile and meet the specific requirements for any 1 of the Express Entry programs – the Federal Skilled Worker Program [FSWP], the Federal Skilled Trades Program [FSTP], or the Canadian Experience Class [CEC].
