The targeted invitations to apply (ITA) to the EI Base category may be based on one or more of the following factors:
- The specific region in which a candidate proposes to establish a business
- The population size of the community in which the candidate proposes to establish a business
- The qualified candidate’s registration score
- Whether the proposed business is a start-up or a purchase of an existing business
- Whether the business proposal is aligned with identified priority business sectors
