Hi all.
I got a rejection from PEI PNP today. The reason mentioned is as below:
"Thank you for your application received to the Prince Edward Island Provincial Express Entry Stream. Your application has been assessed and a decision has been rendered to decline the application. You had been selected for an invitation to apply based on your occupation and the labour market priorities in our province. However, a further review of your application noted concerns about your ability to economically establish and the intent to reside in our province. At this time, priority processing is given to applicants with a full time job offer in our province. We encourage you to seek employment opportunities that match your skill set and have noted employment sites that may be of assistance to you."

Does anyone know exactly what is the reason of rejection. I had shown my finances slightly higher than the required amount.

I just got my rejection letter today 2nd of May 2019 reading:

"...Thank you for submitting your application to the Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program. Your application and supporting documentation have been reviewed and the decision has been made to decline your application for Nomination.
The reason for the decline of your application is as follows: Non-Compliance with PEIPNP Requirements
Based on the documents provided, principal applicant did not graduate from a recognized PEI post- secondary institutions as claimed in the Expression of Interest profile.
If you would like to re-apply you must wait 6 months from the date of this letter, be able to overcome the issues noted above, and you must meet the program criteria in place at that time..."


I made a call to the Immigration Office in Charlottetown and discussed with the lady. I explained that I had openly indicated on my profile that I did not have a job offer and as of November 2018 when I applied PEI was the only province that did not have FULL TIME JOB OFFER as a requirement. Concerning graduation from a recognized PEI post-secondary, I explained that my assumption was that my Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) had provided full Canadian equivalents of my post-secondary education and so could suffice as PEI recognized. She then explained that I had 5 extra points because of that. My score was 85 out of 100 as of February 19, 2019 draw when I was said to be the highest score and given an ITA. My confusion is: is having a job in PEI now a requirement like other provinces. Is it fair to have me wait another 6 months till November to apply again because of my erroneous assumption concerning PEI recognized post-secondary education? After all if they remove the 5 points it fetched me, is 80 out of 100 still not high and fair enough?? Why is the immigration suddenly becoming more difficult now than for those who have gone before me? How am I sure they will not come up with something else if I apply in November 2019? Is it worth wasting my CAD300??? Can someone kindly assist me with answers???? Thanks!

Did you apply under the graduate stream?

Rules here state not only do you need to be graduated by have a job offer
International Graduate Stream
This stream is for recent graduates from recognized accredited Prince Edward Island universities and colleges who have already been hired by a PEI employer. Eligible applicants will work in a skilled profession in their field of study.

All the streams look like you need a job offer.

But as of November 2018 when I made my EOI, a job offer was not a requirement for PEI unlike other provinces.

Hello you have to read your rejection letter properly they are saying that when you created EOI profile you said that you graduated from PEI institute and to that question you said yes but you did not graduated from PEI institute. This was the primary reason for your rejection. You are lucky that they PEI immigration did not banned you for the next 5 years under ‘misrepresentation’ because if you had done the same mistake on federal level at IRCC they would have clearly banned you for next five years for misrepresentation. PEI did not needed equivalency they want the person to be a graduate from PEI institute. Be careful with future appliication.

What still baffles me is that PEI still does purely paper based application and payment must be by money order/bank cheques. It was really stressful and expensive sending by courier the bulk of printed paper in this information age. Other provincial applications are done completely online like the Federal - with Credit/Debit Card Online payment options.

But I know other people applying and getting accepted without Job Offers especially on the IRCC Federal Level through a much seamless process. Why must it be different with me???
