As of September 17, 2026, the province had issued 1,229 invitations through the Labour Impact and PEI Express Entry pathways.

Who Was Prioritized in This Draw?

PEI targeted workers already employed in occupations and priority sectors that have a strong economic impact on the province. Priority consideration was also given to international students who graduated from one of these PEI institutions:

  • University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI)
  • Holland College
  • Collège de l’Île
What Happens After Receiving an Invitation?

Candidates who receive an invitation must submit a complete application to the PEI Office of Immigration within 30 days. If the application is not submitted within this period, the invitation expires.

Receiving an invitation is not the same as receiving a provincial nomination or Canadian permanent residence. Candidates must still complete the required application and assessment process.

What This Means for Potential Applicants

The September draw highlights the importance of PEI employment and the province’s priority-sector needs in its selection process.

Candidates interested in PEI should understand that submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee an invitation. Selection depends on the province’s criteria and priorities, and applicants should ensure that their profile and supporting information are accurate and up to date.
